In descriptive feedback presentation, beside the intellectual dimension development, other aspects of development like social, emotional and physical development are considered. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of descriptive feedback based lesson plan on English learning and retention of students at 7th grade of first high school with quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. For this purpose, 50 girl students at the 7th grade of first high school in Aleshtar town were selected through multi stage cluster sampling and examined at experimental and control groups. The instrument of this study was researcher-made learning and retention test. For analyzing the data, one variable covariance analysis was used. The result showed that there was significant difference between English learning and retention of students at experimental and control groups, and experimental group had better learning and retention. Students who were taught with descriptive feedback based lesson plan had better learning and retention in comparison with students who were taught with common and traditional methods.
