B. Problem Formulation

The problems of the research are presented as follows. 1. What is the feedback from the lecturer? 2. What are the students’ perceptions on the supervisor’s feedback in improving students’ teaching performance in Microteaching class? 3. What are the students’ suggestions for the supervisors in giving the feedback?

C. Problem Limitation

In order to make the research specific, there are some limitations in this research. First, the research is about students’ perception. Lewis stated that feedback is a form of assessment for students 2002. In this research, the writer would like to find out how students perceive supervisor’s feedback in improving their teaching performance in Microteaching class. Second, the research is limited only on the students of English Language Education Study program of Sanata Dharma University, especially those who were taking Microteaching in academic year 20092010. Third is about the feedback. According to Lewis 2002, feedback can be provided by the teachers, their peers, and their own self. The feedback given to the students also can be in some ways, oral or written form. In this research, the writer concerns on the perception of the students on any kinds of feedback given by the supervisors because every student has their own perception in perceiving the feedback. The last is about teaching performance. The research will be limited on the students’ teaching performance in Microteaching class. 5
