This study investigates the impact of feedback on enhancing EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students’ writing performance. Feedback is widely recognized as a crucial element in language learning, influencing students’ linguistic accuracy, coherence, and overall writing proficiency. This research explores different types of feedback, including written, oral, peer, and teacher feedback, and evaluates their effectiveness in improving EFL students’ writing skills. The findings demonstrate that systematic and constructive feedback significantly enhances students’ performance, motivation, and confidence in writing. The study provides pedagogical implications for EFL instructors aiming to optimize writing instruction through effective feedback mechanisms.
