Teachers' feedback on students' developed texts at MAN Sidoarjo

Feedback is one of the important aspects in English writing. Teachers need to give feedback on students’ work to improve their writing. This research aims to identi-fy teachers’ strategy in providing feedback on students’ developed texts and the type of feedback that teachers use. To explore this issue, this research used a quali-tative design by interviewing three English teachers and administering question-naires to students in order to confirm the data from the interview session. The study also analyzed students’ texts to identify the types of feedback that the teachers gave. The finding showed that the teachers applied feedback strategy when evaluating students’ developed texts. The strategies they use are by giving immediate feedback, providing detailed and small amounts of feedback, using written and oral feedback, and providing individual and group feedback. The study also identified that teachers used four different types of feedback: direct corrective feedback, praise, suggestion, and criticism. Therefore, the result of this research can be useful for English teachers to obtain more information about feed-back strategy as well as the types of feedback they may adopt to approach differ-ent types of texts.
