  The landscape of educational practices for teaching and learning languages
has been predominantly centered around outcome-driven approaches. The recent
accessibility of large language models has thoroughly disrupted these
approaches. As we transform our language teaching and learning practices to
account for this disruption, it is important to note that language learning
plays a pivotal role in developing human intelligence. Writing and computer
programming are two essential skills integral to our education systems. What
and how we write shapes our thinking and sets us on the path of self-directed
learning. While most educators understand that `process' and `product' are both
important and inseparable, in most educational settings, providing constructive
feedback on a learner's formative process is challenging. For instance, it is
straightforward in computer programming to assess whether a learner-submitted
code runs. However, evaluating the learner's creative process and providing
meaningful feedback on the process can be challenging. To address this
long-standing issue in education (and learning), this work presents a new set
of visualization tools to summarize the inherent and taught capabilities of a
learner's writing or programming process. These interactive Process
Visualizations (PVs) provide insightful, empowering, and personalized
process-oriented feedback to the learners. The toolbox is ready to be tested by
educators and learners and is publicly available at www.processfeedback.org.
Focusing on providing feedback on a learner's process--from self, peers, and
educators--will facilitate learners' ability to acquire higher-order skills
such as self-directed learning and metacognition.
