Abstract (2. Language): 
This study aims to explore the relationship between feedback expectancy of Iranian learners of English and their level of education, achievement in English, and attitude toward peer and teacher feedback. To fulfil the purpose of this study, a sixty-item questionnaire focusing on issues related to feedback expectancy, peer feedback, teacher feedback, and cultural factors was developed. 533 junior and high school students participated in the study. The results showed that (1) feedback expectancy in higher levels of education is stronger; (2) a positive and moderate correlation exists between feedback expectancy and learners’ English achievements; high achievers of English expect more feedback; (3) feedback received from teachers is more expected than from peers; (4) female learners sought more feedback from their peers and teachers than male learners. As providing language learners with clear feedback plays a crucial role in developing learners’ language abilities and helping them direct their learning, this study suggests language program developers and teachers to motivate learners to seek feedback from several sources.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalısma 1ran’da 1ngilizce ögrenen ögrencilerin dönüt beklentisi ile egitim düzeyleri, 1ngilizce ögrenmedeki basarıları ve akran ve ögretmen dönütüne karsı tutumları arasındaki iliskiyi arastırmayı hedeflemektedir. Çalısmanın amacına uygun olarak dönüt beklentisi, akran dönütü, ögretmen dönütü ve kültürel etkenlere odaklanmıs 60 soruluk bir anket gelistirilmis ve bu anket ortaokul ve lise düzeyindeki ögretim kurumlarında 1ngilizce ögrenen 533 ögrenci üzerinde uygulanmıstır. Elde edilen bulgular göstermistir ki: 1) Daha üst egitim düzeylerinde dönüt beklentisi daha güçlü olmaktadır 2) Ögrencilerin dönüt beklentileri ile 1ngilizce ögrenmedeki basarı düzeyleri arasında dogru orantılı bir iliski vardır. Yüksek basarı gösteren ögrenciler daha büyük bir dönüt beklentisi içerisindedirler 3) Ögretmen dönütü beklentisi akran dönütü beklentisinden daha fazladır 4) Bayan ögrenciler erkek ögrencilere kıyasla ögretmen ve akranlarından daha fazla dönüt beklentisi içerisindedirler. Yabancı dil egitimi alan ögrencilere açıklıkla dönüt vermek onların dil yetilerini gelistirmelerinde ve dil ögrenme süreçlerini yönlendirmelerinde yasamsal öneme sahip oldugu için bu çalısma dil programı gelistiricileri ve yabancı dil ögretmenlerinin, ögrencileri dönüt beklentisi içinde olmaya güdülemesini önermektedir.
