Abstract

Oral corrective feedback is really important for teachers in the process of language teaching and learning especially in speaking practice. It is also a type of feedback that have much impact on students’ language learning. Although a number of studies have examined in the context of second language teachers’ beliefs, but few have investigated in the context of foreign language teachers. To fill this research gap, this study explored EFL teachers’ beliefs regarding a number of issues about oral corrective feedback, such as; the role of error correction in language learning, timing of corrective feedback, ways of correction in the classroom setting, types of oral corrective feedback strategies, the types of errors that should be corrected, and focus of speaking aspects. The present research aims to find out EFL teachers’ beliefs about oral corrective feedback on students’ speaking performance at SMA N 1 Padang. The type of this research was descriptive research. Two EFL teachers participated in this study were selected by using purposive sampling. The data and source of data in this research were EFL teachers’ responses and EFL teachers themselves. The research instrument was semi-structured interview guideline. The data was qualitatively analyzed. The result indicated that teachers’ beliefs were more dynamic and flexible between those two teachers. Their beliefs that they stated were based on what actually realized in their classroom practice. Moreover, both EFL English teachers shared a half the same beliefs and also a half shared quite little different beliefs in terms of types of oral corrective feedback strategies, types of errors should be corrected, and the focus of speaking aspects.
