Summary/Abstract: This study examines the perceived effectiveness of instructional activities in elementary-level military English courses from both teacher and student perspectives. Data were collected through a self-report questionnaire completed by 52 English teachers affiliated to the University of Defence Language Centre and 173 learners enrolled in Level 1 courses. Descriptive statistical analysis indicated broad agreement between teachers and learners regarding the usefulness of classroom activities. The results further suggest that teacher corrective feedback during interactive tasks substantially influences learners’ motivation and perceptions of activity effectiveness. The study contributes to the understanding of the specific needs of adult beginner learners and supports the development of evidence-based instructional strategies for military English instruction.
