Abstract

This study was a collaboration action research conducted in a genre-based writing class of Semarang State University Year of 2012. This research aimed to find out the effect of teachers’ written and oral feedback on the EFL students’ writing. This study also tried to reveal the students’ preference and responses towards the feedback given. There were three cycles carried out. The first cycle discussed descriptive texts. The second cycle taught narrative texts. The last cycle respond to the analytical exposition texts. The feedback given by the teachers was recorded and categorized according to its type, form, and focus. In collecting the data, three types of tests (pre-test, formative test, and post test), questionnaire, and observation field notes were taken as the instruments. The result of the study shows that the use of teacher’s written and oral feedback in writing courses helped improving the students’ writing. It also gives possitive impacts on the students motivation in writing. Secondly, the students preferred using direct and focused feedback and the teacher-student conference is provided to give new responses and clarrify the ambiguities caused by the written form. Next, the students respond positively towards the given feedback. Finally, the writer suggested the students to keep practicing writing and to check the teacher feedback carefully, so that they could get much benefit from the existence of feedback. For the teacher, the writer insisted them to allocate certain time to present feedback. In addition, in responding the students’ writing, the teacher should consider the students’ preferences to avoid the discouraging feedback. Last, for the next researcher, the better research in the same issues should be conducted to answer how the effect of feedback towards the students’ writing is and how it should be provided.
