The present paper aims to investigate the effect of the feedback-seeking behavior on learning English.
Given the importance and role of learning English as the global communication language, it is essential to
explore ways which help facilitate its practical and effective learning. One of the most important elements
in the effective learning of a foreign language is feedback-seeking behavior. To better understand the
feedback-seeking behavior by reviewing the literature, we studied feedback-seeking behavior in the selfmotivation
framework. Through this conceptual model and having defined the feedback-seeking
behavior, we examined the antecedents and consequences of this behavior in order to provide English
language teachers with some practical suggestions as to how they can encourage the feedback-seeking
behavior among learners. Recent studies have shown that feedback seeking can improve learning
performance, since it can facilitate the creation and achievement of learning goals.
