Abstract :
Besides using spoken language in the form of conversation as an oral
production, people need communication also by using written language. To
produce a good writing product, the students should follow various classroom
activities involving some steps applied in writing process. The writer must be able
to organize ideas, to construct the sentences, to use punctuation and spelling well,
and to arrange their writing into cohesive and coherent paragraph. There are many
techniques in teaching writing, one of them is teacher corrective feedback. Here,
the researcher wants to know how the implementation of teacher corrective
feedback in teaching narrative text at senior high school is.
The purposes of this study are to describing 1.) the implementation of
teacher corrective feedback technique to improve the students? ability in writing
narrative text, 2.) the students? responses of the teaching writing using teacher
corrective feedback, 3.) the problems faced by the teacher in giving corrective
feedback. To achieve the objectives, the researcher uses descriptive qualitative as
the design. The research was held in MA and SMA Yasmu Manyar. The research
took 25 students from class X-C of MA Yasmu Manyar and 27 students from
class X-3 of SMA Yasmu Manyar, and also the teachers from both classes as the
subject of the study. The researcher collected the data from observation, interview
and document.
The result of this study showed that the teacher implements teacher
corrective feedback by giving direct and indirect feedback. By using this
technique, the students are capable to know their errors, the reason and how to
correct it. The students give positive responses toward the implementation of
teacher corrective feedback in teaching writing. They were motivated and
interested in joining the classroom activity. In implementing this technique, the
teacher faced some problems, they are (1.) the level of students? ability in writing
is different one to another, (2.) the students? motivation was different one to
another, (3.) the students? difficulties in mastering language features and
component of writing.
From this study, it can be concluded that teacher corrective feedback is an
effective way in evaluating students? writing. By implementing this technique the
students are able to do self-correction through indirect feedback from their teacher
so it can accelerate teaching learning process. They learn about identifying their
error, recognizing the reason why it was wrong and knowing how to correct it.
This technique is very helpful for students in case of improving their writing
ability. After conducting this study, the researcher would like to give suggestions
to the teacher and the next researcher. For the teacher who wants to apply teacher
corrective feedback on students? writing is recommended to be aware of the
students? ability level. The teacher is advisable to manage the time well and give
extra motivation to the students. Regarding to further research in this field, the
next researcher is recommended to conduct the study about teacher corrective
feedback in different focus such as different subject or different kinds of text
because it will be very interesting for further research.
