Abstract
ABSTRACT
Writing is a productive skill that needs more attention since it does not come naturally, so it
needs continuous feedback. This study focuses on its goal to describe the ways how written feedback
implemented, the functions of written feedback, and the students’ responses toward written feedback.
This study was a qualitative-case which had the eleventh grade students and the English teacher of
MA Arrahmah Kediri as the subjects. This study also employed three instruments to collect the data
namely interview, observation, and document analysis. There were three phases in analyzing the data
namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The observation, interview, and
document analysis were used to describe the ways how written feedback implemented. The result
showed the teacher gave direct and indirect feedback. Then, the interview wa s conducted to identify
the functions of written feedback and the students’ responses toward written feedback. For the
functions of written feedback, the result was written feedback could save teacher’s time and energy,
enhance student’s writing, and motivate to revise. For the students’ responses toward written feedback,
the result showed the high achievers kept using direct and indirect feedback and the mid and low
achievers ignored coded feedback. In conclusion, to decide the best way to give written fee dback was
influenced by the students with different English level proficiency’s writing. The writer suggests the
teacher should distinguish between the low and high achievers in giving coded feedback so the
students can get appropriate written feedback and use it optimally to revise.
