81 between teacher and student. Thus, the different kinds of feedback based on the
teacher‟s beliefs on teaching writing. The teaching learning activity in writing class had beliefs which were used
by the teachers in their teaching. There were nine beliefs in teaching as mentioned at chapter II. According to Gebhard and Oprandy 1999, p. 4-19, the
nine beliefs and assumptions that underlie their teaching in order to build the approach and convey the knowledge to the students. In this research, the beliefs

1. Taking Responsibility for Our Own Teaching
According to Gebhard and Oprandy 1999, p. 5, the teachers have responsibility in their own teaching to deliver the knowledge to the students.
Therefore, the teachers have desire to explore themselves in order to enrich their knowledge in teaching. This responsibility in teaching became the teacher belief
that underlies the teachers‟ written feedback. The teacher had responsibility to
internalize the knowledge about writing. This beliefs focused on how the teachers guide the students to write well. The responsibility was about all of the knowledge
or information in making critical essay. There were 34 times of taking respo
nsibility for the teachers‟ teaching activity as the teacher‟s belief in Critical Reading and Writing II Class. The teacher‟s belief of taking responsibility for the
teaching was recognized on the example of teacher‟s comments.
82 From that, the researcher fo
und the teacher‟s responsibility in teaching that the student had to understand how to draw meaning out of the book in order to
make an argumentative essay. The teacher was successful in hisher class because the student could have a good discussion in the class. Therefore, the student
understood how to deal with their arguments and integrate it into his or her writing. The teacher in Critical Reading and Writing II Class was demanded to
use this belief because they were one of the sources of how to write well.

1. Taking responsibility for the
teaching. -
Im glad to hear your reflection and how you draw meanings out of the book and the
discussion in the class. -
Not just summarize others ideas. -
Follow the thesis guidelines. -
Try to be critical when making a sentence. To improve the content of your essay, you
can acknowledge others point of view by citing others‟ work.
The teachers also had responsibility to help the student‟s writing in order to create hisher own ideas because the student not only summarized the other
ideas but also gave hisher ideas in the essay. In summarizing other ideas the teacher had to teach how to write a quote using the thesis guidelines. The teachers
also asked the student to use the thesis guidelines because the teacher was a bridge to deliver the knowledge in teaching learning activity. Thus, the teacher used this
teacher‟s belief in order to avoid permanent error or misunderstanding on making an essay. The teacher also had responsibility to give clear, specific, and helpful
feedback that can be used for the students to revise their writing.
