A. CONCLUSIONS
This research emphasises on the application of the use of Collaborative Feedback to improve
students’ writing skills in the eighth grade of SMP N 2 Srandakan in the academic year of 20132014.
In improving the students’ writing skills, a Collaborative Feedback was used. Collaborative Feedback is a technique where the students and the teacher
giv e their feedback to one’s work. There are four steps in using CF. First, the
students make a text. Then their friend gives the text a feedback. Next, the students revise it. After that, the text is given feedback by the teacher. The last,
the students submit their final product. The result of the research found that there are some functions of CF. First,
CF asked the students to work harder in dealing with writing; the grammar, content, organisation, style and mechanics. Moreover, they had a discussion with
their peer which could improve their knowledge about the topic discussed. It was also free to use dictionary in which also improved their vocabulary. They could
also ask anyone to help them that would improve their knowledge. Lastly, the teacher feedback would make the students minimise thier doubt. This technique
96 trained the students to make a text, give feedback, and understand the meaning of
feedback by revising their text based on the feedback given. Those activities made the students understand more about how to write a text, and how to conduct a
feedback . With the help of CF, the students’ mistakes slowly decreased and they
could write a text maximally in the end. The writing skills’ improvement was known from the result of their Pre-
Test, Progress Test, and Post- Test. Students’ mean value in Pre-Test was 26.74
and it was improved to 45.89 in the Progress Test. The score was also increased in the Post-Test to 55.91. So from the Pre-Test until the Post-
Test, the students’ improvement was 29.17 points.
From the results above, CF is believed to improve the students’ writing skills in the eighth grade of SMP N 2 Srandakan in the academic year of
20132014.
