How Do You Handle Feedback?

Description

Whether at work, school, or in our personal lives, feedback is a part of how we grow. But giving and receiving feedback is not always easy—some people avoid it, others take it too personally, and many don’t know how to respond productively.

In this lesson, students will discuss their own experiences with feedback, reflect on emotional and cultural responses to it, and explore how to make feedback more useful. We'll also examine helpful expressions and conversational tools to handle both positive and negative feedback with confidence. This lesson is especially relevant for learners looking to improve workplace communication, leadership skills, and emotional intelligence in English.
