Abstract
This present study aims to investigate English Department students’ perception towards
teacher’s written feedback in Expository and Argumentative Writing classes. The study
addresses the following question: What are the students’ perceptions towards teacher’s written
feedback in Expository and Argumentative Writing classes? The participants consisted of 20
students in English Department of Satya Wacana Christian University who already took the
Expository and Argumentative Writing class. The data came from semi-structured interviews.
The findings of the study illustrate the positive perceptions towards teacher’s written feedback.
The finding suggests that the student mostly prefer feedback on content rather than feedback on
grammar. The finding of this study also remind the teacher to choose their word carefully on
providing feedback and surely balance the feedback both the positive and negative.
Key words: writing, teacher written feedback, students’ perceptions.
