The Effect of Direct Corrective Feedback on Students’ Writing Performance

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate whether there is an effect of direct corrective feedback on students' writing performance. The writing performance in this research was focused on the grammatical error made by the students. Quasi-experiment was implied in this research. There were two classes involved in this study, class A as experiment group that was consisted of 26 students and class B as control group students that was consisted of 27 students. Five meetings were carried out including pre-test and post-test. The finding showed that there was no significant difference between students who were received direct and no feedback on their performance of writing. It means that there is no one better than another, it is suggested for the future researcher to conduct an in-depth study regarding different types of corrective feedback.
