Surveying students' level of satisfaction at ESP seminars – a prerequisite for efficient foreign language learning
Abstract
Feedback plays a crucial role in foreign language education, serving both pedagogical and motivational purposes and significantly impacting the outcomes of instruction. While external factors like grades, social expectations, and rewards drive students' engagement, their intrinsic motivation fosters deeper learning. Given its critical role, students' feedback on course content and teaching methodologies offers valuable insights for enhancing instructional effectiveness and addressing learners' needs. Establishing a strong feedback culture in the language classroom ensures better learning experiences, increased motivation, and overall academic success. This paper researches and presents a case study on economics students from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies, showing relevant data on the importance of surveying students' level of satisfaction at ESP seminars. Collected in a meaningful and well-organized learning environment, students' feedback becomes a prerequisite for efficient learning, especially with higher education undergraduates.
