Chrisda N. Wattimury
Abstract
According to Sadler (1989) “Feedback is the key to the formative assessment.” It can be defined as the
information given on how an action is being developed in terms of its quality for success. However, its
contribution to students’ writing development is still unclear. This study was conducted in order to answer
these research questions “What are the students’ perception toward teacher oral and written feedback in
Guided Writing class on revising students’ writing and what are the problems that often appear when
feedback is given to the students.” To answer the research questions 15 participants were interviewed, and
the result showed that almost all the participants stated that they liked both feedback that were given by the
teacher and they had no problems regarding oral and written feedback that were given for them. However
5 of the 15 students’ committed having problems with the teacher oral and written feedback. The students
were confused with the teacher’s hand writing and the unclear teacher’s voice.
