The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of the use of electronic feedback for English students in the technical colleges. It also aimed to identify the differences in the achievement of students in the English course (Technical English 1) when using electronic feedback compared to traditional. The basic study sample consisted of 28 students from the Technical College in Buraidah. They were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The test of achievement was carried out on both groups in the same time before and after. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-test grades of the achievement test in the English language course at the Technical College in Buraidah for the benefit of the experimental group. Also, there were statistically significant differences between the average grade levels of the experimental group in the pre and post for the test of achievement, for the benefit of posttest. The result showed a great effectiveness of the use of electronic feedback on collection. The study recommended the instructors in educational institutions and colleges to use electronic applications that expand and supports electronic feedback, as well as urges the educational institutions to raising the level of their staff in this aspect. Moreover, the study encourages researchers to conduct further studies on electronic feedback in different stages. (Published abstract)
