FEEDBACK ON THE STUDENTS‟ ERROR IN WRITING COMPOSITION
Abstract: Feedback on the
Students’ Error in Writing Composition. This study aimed at describing the
development of the students‟ ability in writing composition after the
lecturer provided feedback in their composition writing. Four second-year art
graduate students of the Art and Design Department of the Faculty of Language
and Art Ganesha University of Education were involved in this study.
Each of them
was asked to
write a 150-word
composition writing with the
topic: „The Historical Development of
the Department of
Art and Design-Faculty of
Language and Art-Ganesha University‟. The comprehensive
correction which include: direct correction
and oral conferencing were
applied in this
study. In the
direct correction in
the form of
written form, the course
participants were asked
to revise their
work based on the teacher‟s
revision. While in the
oral conferencing, in addition to the written feedback correction, they were
involved in face to face lecturer‟ feedback on their wrong grammatical points,
that was, to achieve a better comprehension on
certain grammatical points.
A week after
the conferencing, they
were asked to
revise their original writing
composition. The obtained data were analyzed descriptively. The findings showed
that the
students made progress
in the revised
version, however the
success was not
repeated in their test
version. This study
indicated that teacher
error feedback alone
did not facilitate
the learning of linguistic information.
