The book explores the dynamics of feedback in teacher education, analyzing both spoken and written language used in post-observation settings. By employing discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and pragmatics, it investigates feedback meetings and tutor reports through quantitative and qualitative methods. The focus is on identifying key characteristics of this feedback genre, particularly its pragmatic elements, to understand what makes feedback effective and emotionally resonant. The research incorporates a corpus of feedback interactions, tutor reports, and reflections from student teachers and tutors.
