Abstract

The aim of this article was to investigate how an experienced teacher educator (TE) specialized in the education of hearing-impaired children provides feedback to a student teacher regarding a planned, one-to-one conversation activity. This case study was conducted at Anadolu University, Education and Research Centre for Hearing- Impaired Children with the participation of a TE, a student teacher, and a hearing-impaired student. Based on the study results, main aspects relating to the TE's activities before, during, and after the conversation and his feedback were identified. The study findings were discussed in light of the current literature, and various recommendations were proposed.
