Abstract

Written teacher’s feedback is highly required to improve students’ writings. This study sought to find out whether (i) direct feedback can significantly improve students’ writing and (ii) indirect feedback can significantly improve students’ writing. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 40 of 8th grade students at SMPN 1 Gantarangkeke in 2017/2018 academic years. The participants were divided into two classes; experimental class A and experimental class B. Each class consisted of 20 students. The researcher provided the two experimental classes with different treatments; direct feedback for the experimental class A and indirect for the experimental class B. The research data were the students’ writings in the pre-test and post-test. The result of the study reveal that overall, direct feedback is more significant in improving student’s writing; the class provided with direct feedback committed slightly fewer errors than that provided with indirect. Thus, it can be inferred that direct corrective feedback has a more significant impact on the students’ writing improvement, even though the improvement was not too significant. Keywords: Writing, direct feedback, indirect feedback
