Therefore, effective learning requires feedback, learning often takes place best when students have opportunities to express ideas and get feedback from their teachers or peers. But for feedback to the most helpful to learners, it must consist of more than the provision of correct answers. Feedback ought to be analytical, to be suggestive, and to come at the time when students are interested in it. And then there must be time for students to reflect on the feedback they receive, to make adjustments and to try again. This study was descriptive qualitative research.

The questionnaire result showed that most of the students gave positive responses to error correction feedback. Depth interview to the teacher and students showed that the effectiveness of error correction feedback toward students writing skill are it could reduce student error day by day and it also train the students to take self correction in their writing, which are these two things play important role in improving students writing.
