Abstract

This study is the result of an exploratory study carried out with students enrolled in the English Conversation II course of the English Teaching Major from the Distance Learning Program of the University of El Salvador, during the first semester, 2017. The research was developed following a qualitative-quantitative methodology with the purpose of describing teacher-students interactions during the Conversation II course. Among the most noticeable findings in the data analysis chapter, two of the highlighted factors are: the feedback that is being provided in the distance learning modality is mostly evaluative, and some of the students seem to be satisfied with the type of feedback that is being provided. Based on the aspects stated, tutors are advised to remember the importance of corrective feedback and its implementation whenever it is possible. And as a general suggestion, a call is made to the authorities of this Department to analyze and provide solutions to one problematic situation related to the ability of the students to move from their home to the main campus of the University of El Salvador.
