3. Future Researchers The researcher hopes that this study can inspire other researchers, who
have a concern in this field and interested in this topic, to explore more about the use of teacher written feedback not only in CRW 1 class but also in other second
language writing classrooms. The researcher expects that this study can stimulate other researchers to conduct a further research and find other essential findings of
teacher written feedback through the result of the students’ perception and also its implication through the implementation of teacher written feedback itself.
F. Definition of Terms
This research contains several terms in the scope of writing that are going to be discussed, they are:
1. Perception According to Altman, Valenzi Hodgetts 1985 perception is defined as

who are in the third semester. It is designed to give students practice to write responses critically based on the given texts or passages, or even write passages to
develop new ideas within the same topic. The texts are related to argumentative, persuasive and expository genres. The students are trained to apply logical
principles, careful standard of evidence and reasoning to the analysis and discussion of claims, beliefs and issues. So, on completing this course, the
