- Abstract
Studies on the investigation of indirect written corrective feedback given by English teacher to students’ writing as part of their formative assessment seem not have been fully investigated. Thus, this study aimed to find out how the teacher gave indirect feedback to the student’s writing and the reasons why the teacher gave any types of indirect written corrective feedback. Students’ writings were the main source for the data collection. Twenty of year 8 students’ writings were collected, which including 10 of the students’ first drafts and 10 of the second drafts. The teacher’s commentary was analyzed by using the adapted framework. Moreover, interview was also conducted in order to find out the teacher’s aims on the given feedback. Then, the interviews were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the teacher used error code, ask for information/question, direction/statement, direction/imperative, and meta-linguistic explanation in providing the indirect written corrective feedback. Moreover, it was also revealed that the indirect written corrective feedback given was aimed to train the students to think critically in order to discover the writing errors by themselves. In addition, it can be inferred that indirect written corrective feedback was not really effective to be used for 8 graders.
