students‟ grammar accuracy of simple past tense in narrative writing be improved in SMAN 1 Depok. Based on the research findings and data analysis,
the researcher drew some conclusions. First, the tenth grade stude
nts‟ grammar accuracy of simple past tense in narrative writing can be improved by employing teacher

students. Based on the result, the students‟ error percentage decreased. In the
preliminary study, the average was 56. Meanwhile, the average of error percentage in the first cycle and second cycle were 27 and 21. Besides that,
the students got a better score from preliminary study until the second cycle. The average of the class in preliminary study was 6.65. However, after the
implementation in the first cycle the average was 7.5. Then, in the second cycle the average became 8.15. It could be concluded that the teacher
‟s feedback could improve the studen

Second, the teacher ‟s feedback helped the students to know and
understand their mistakes. They became more aware of their mistakes. The students could learn from the mistakes and they did not make the same mistakes
again. The students also became more careful while writing the other tasks especially when they used simple past tense forms. Moreover, the students
understood the pattern of simple past tense better after receiving the teacher ‟s
feedback. They obtained new knowledge from the feedback such as grammar, vocabulary and simple past tense forms. Furthermore, the students felt motivated
after receiving the teacher ‟s feedback. They intended to obtain higher scores.
They revised their mistakes so they could obtain better scores. They also felt happy receiving the teacher
‟s feedback because the students could know their mistakes and revise them for obtaining higher scores.
