This understanding and narration relationship is based on the four basic skills of language. It is necessary to make maximum use of all methods and techniques related to language teaching so that reading, listening, speaking and writing skills, which cannot be developed independently from each other, can be reached from A1 language level to C1+ level. Feedback, which is also related to the measurement and evaluation dimension of language teaching, also affects the motivation of the teacher and the student. In this study, an extensive literature research was conducted on feedback in teaching Turkish to foreigners, the opinions of teachers and students about feedback were taken, and the effect of feedback on student success was examined. This study, which aims to investigate the effect of feedback on the development of four basic language skills, namely reading, listening, writing and speaking, in teaching Turkish to foreigners, was designed in the nested pattern of the mixed research model.
