Abstract


This article is a report of a finish piece of research which is intended to find out whether the students who were given the indirect corrective wrote a better writing than those who were given direct corrective feedback as the treatment. This study adopted the quasi-experimental research design. It was conducted at Universitas Bhinneka PGRI with the second semester students as the population. There were 31 students taken as the samples of this study. They were divided into two groups. 17 students who were taken as the experimental group given indirect corrective feedback on their writing while 14 students who were taken as the control group given direct corrective feedback. The findings of this study is that based on the ANCOVA statistical analysis using SPSS 16.0, it was found that the students who were given indirect corrective feedback do not produce a better writing than those who were given direct corrective feedback. Moreover, in this study, the students who were given direct corrective write a writing piece with more accuracy. Some suggestions are offered in relation to the findings English lecturer especially the lecturer of writing skill and further researchers. English lecturers are expected to be able to choose the best method of giving feedback on the students’ writing. The two kinds of corrective feedback may serve as alternatives since it is proven that they have significant effects on the students’ writing. For the further researcher, it is suggested that they do research in different contexts with different text types. It is also possible to do the research on the students’ preferences of what kind of feedback to be given to their writings.
