c. For ELESP students
The researcher hopes this research can help the ELESP students in preparing themselves as teacher candidates. As English teacher candidates, they have to
prepare themselves before entering the real teaching world. They also have to understand what kind of teaching strategy that is appropriate to be implemented in
teaching so that their students will understand the materials learnt clearly. They have to understand that peer feedback can help the students to improve their
writing skill. Therefore, later when they have to teach writing skill, they will implement this stage of writing to improve the students’ writing skill.
d. For further researchers
The researcher hopes the findings of this research will help future researchers to obtain the information on the implemetation of peer feedback in
teaching writing skill and help them in conducting their related research.
1.6 Definition of Terms
In order to avoid misunderstanding and misconception in this research, the researcher will define the following terms:
1.6.1 Writing Skill
Writing skill is an important skill to be mastered by the students. Sokolik as cited in Nunan, 2003 defines writing skill as both a physical and mental act, both
to express and impress the product and process. Writing texts in English, a foregin
9 language, is difficult to do for the eleventh grade students. The students should
pay attention to the complexity of the target language dealing with its grammatical rules and sentence structure Silva, 1993, as cited in Weigle, 2002. The eleventh
grade students also deal with grammatical rules and sentence structure as their problems in writing report texts. Therefore, in this research, writing skill is
defined as a physical and mental act of expressing ideas in writing report texts.
1.6.2 Report Text
Feez and Joyce 1998 define report text as a genre of writing which classifies and describes in general terms the way things are. The information
presented in report texts is the result of observation and analysis. In writing report texts, the eleventh grade students usually discuss the actual topics or fact in
general about animals such as Tigers and Mammals.
1.6.3 Perception
Perception is a process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment Robbins,
2001. According to Leontive 1981, perception can be formed if someone is aware of expreriencing an event. The information are organized and interpreted as
behavioral response to the stimuli. Perception involves receiving stimuli, organizing them, and translating or interpreting the organized stimuli to influence
behavior and form attitudes such as thought, opinion and feeling Gibson et al., 1985. Further, they state that opinion and thought emphasize rational and logic
10 while feeling emphasizes emotion. Therefore, in this research, perception deals
with the eleventh grade students’ thought, opinion and feeling on the implementation of peer feedback in writing report texts.
