research took 30 students of the second year students as the subject of the study. The writer get

the data of the research from event, informants, and document. The techniques of collecting data

are the observation and interview about the writing teaching- learning process. The result of the

analysis shows that the teacher used three types of corrective feedback, namelyfeedback on

content (positive feedback), feedback on form (negative feedback) and the use of red ink and

black ink in corrective feedback. The writer can conclude, when the teacher gives direct

feedback to the students make easily to understand the learning and they can know what their

mistakes. They said that the feedback type applied by the teacher in the teaching writing

descriptive makes them easy to write and they can identify and correct the errors. The teacher

also used of ink color to correction the learning. In the observation, the teacher uses the redink

when she correct students work.In teacher corrective feedback, students can know and correct

the errors after it is corrected by the teacher.

Keywords: Teacher Corrective Feedback Type, descriptive text

1. Introduction

Writing has an important role in the context of English teaching as a foreign

language in Indonesia. Writing is a means of communication is demanded. It is learner‟s

need which cannot he neglected in the era of high competition. It means that student

should he equipped with writing skills necessary for their future. They should be trained

to write in English in other to be skillful writers. Written language is frequently used in

the publication such as book, newspaper, magazine and literary work. It shows how

important mastering writing skill is. For that reason, students should master writing skill.

The objective of learning writing is to produce the kinds of written text. To

produce a good writing product, the writer should follow various classroom activities

involving some steps applied in writing process. Brown (1994) in Fauziati (2008 :144)

distinguish for steps of writing : prewriting , drafting, revising, and editing. A more

detailed account and stages of writing gas been proposed by White and Ardnt (1991) in

Fauziati (2008 : 144) who argue that stages in process of writing include generating

ideas, focusing, structuring, drafting, evaluating, and reviewing, which all interact

recursively. Besides, there are many aspects that must be mastered by students to write

well. According to Leki (1996) in Fauziati (2008 : 142) writing activity means to catch

the grammar, spelling, and punctuation error.

Based on the explanation above, the researcher chooses one topic for her research

to know the problem faced by the teacher in applying and the advantages of teacher

feedback technique in teaching descriptive text for the students.

The first previous research was done by Atik Sri Rukmini (2011) from

Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta with the title The Implementation of Teacher

Corrective Feedback in Teaching Writing Descriptive Text to the Second Year Students

of SMPN 1 Tunjungan in 2010/2011 Academic Year. In her research, she describes the

implementation of teaching writing descriptive text by the teacher in teaching learning

process by using corrective feedback in writing descriptive text. She used Miles

&Huberman analysis technique, data reduction, data display, and conclusion and

verification. The result of the study show teaching writing used corrective feedback in

descriptive text for the second year students of SMP N 1 Tunjungan was successful and

effective. The teacher used problem solving as a writing material.

The second researcher is RatihYulianti (2012) from Muhammadiyah University

of Surakarta with the title Teacher's Corrective Feedback In Teaching Writing Recount

Text To The First Year Of SMA Muhammadiyah I Surakarta In 2011/2012 Academic

Year. Her objective was described the type of teacher corrective feedback technique in

teaching learning of writing recount text and described the problem faced by the teacher

in implementing corrective feedback at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta in 2011/2012

Academic Year. Her research describes that the types of oral corrective feedback which is

used by the teacher in teaching learning process of writing recount text is metalinguistic.

The researcher found there five types of oral feedback from six types of oral feedback,

namely; explicit correction, recast, clarification request, metalinguistic, and repetition.

Her method was descriptive qualitative analysis and the object of her study was the type

of corrective feedback in teaching learning of writing recount text and the problems faced

by the teacher in implementing corrective feedback at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta.

The Third researcher is IpungAnggoro (2013) fromMuhammadiyah University of

Surakarta with the title Corrective Feedback Found In Speaking Class at The English

Department Of Muhammadiyah University Of Surakarta. His research describes that the

types of corrective Feedback Used by the teacher in UMS. The researcher found there

Page 8: THE TYPES OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTED BY THE ...eprints.ums.ac.id/46976/1/NASKAH PUBLIKASI.pdf · Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: 1) jenis umpan balik guru

five types of corrective feedback used by the teacher in UMS. That was clarification

request, recast, met linguistic feedback, explicit and translation. The frequency of Each

Type of Corrective feedback Used by the Teacher in teaching speaking in UMS. The

frequency of the use of corrective feedback found clarification request found 69 data or

about 59 %, recast 23 or about 19,7 % met linguistic found 17 data or about 14,5 %,

explicit correction found 4 data or about 3,4 % and translation found 4 data or about 3,4

%. The dominant Type of Corrective feedback used by the teacher in teaching speaking

in UMS.

2. Research Method

In this research, the subject of the study is limited to the teacher and the students

of SMP N 2 Baturetno especially at the second year. The object of the study is the

technique of teaching writing descriptive text using teachers feedback applied by the

teacher at SMP N 2 Baturetno. The data of this research are the activities of the students

and teacher. The writer took field note from observation. There are three sources of the

data: event, informant, and document. In this research, the writer uses three method of

collecting data, there are observation, interview, and document analysis. The techniques

for analyzing the data that are used by the writer are reducing the data, displaying the

data, and drawing conclusion.

3. Research Finding and Discussion

3.1 Research Finding

3.1.1 The Type of Teacher Feedback used in Teaching Descriptive Text.

a) Feedback on Content (Positive Feedback)

In feedback on form, the teacher not only corrects the students error

very explicit by telling the students that their writing is wrong then tells the

reason, but also very implicit by using repetition to the wrong word or

sentence that is written by the students. Here is the analysis of feedback on

content (positive feedback) based on the writer‟s observation.

1) Metalinguistic Feedback

In the observation, the writer also finds some metalinguistic

feedback in the teaching learning process. In the metalinguistic, the

Page 9: THE TYPES OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTED BY THE ...eprints.ums.ac.id/46976/1/NASKAH PUBLIKASI.pdf · Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: 1) jenis umpan balik guru

5

teacher provides comments or questions related to the well- formedness of

the students utterances feedback.

These are data in teaching learning process of writing class. Here,

the writer found four excepts which used as the data. The first data,

teacher asked the student to read his homework about descriptive text.

But, the teacher fined the errors when students said as follow:

Data 1 [MeL]

Student : HeMr. Aldo

Teacher : use – auxiliary verbs (is, am or are)

Students : He is Mr. Aldo

The metalinguistic can be seen when the students answer is

incorrect. The answer is “HeMr. Aldo” whereas it must use

auxiliary verb „is, are or am. So, the teacher corrects the answer by

saying “You need an auxiliary verb „is‟ because the subject is the

third singular person”.After that, students‟ reply the answer by

using„is‟. This is an effective way to build students skill in

grammar.

b) Feedback on Form (Negative Feedback)

In this research, the writer finds the correction in content and form. In

feedback on form, the teacher not only corrects the students error very explicit

by telling the students that their writing is wrong then tells the reason, but also

very implicit by using repetition to the wrong word or sentence that is written

by the students.

1) No correction but comments and question on content

In this type, the teacher gives a correction in teaching learning

process. Here is the data of this type, when the teacher asked students to

make a group to make a descriptive text

My name is Mely. I am 14 years old. I have one sister. Her name is Metta. She

is 20 years old. She is tall. She is beautiful girl. She have long wavy hair. Her favorite

food is all about seafood. She like drinking lemon tea everyday. Her hobbies are playing

badminton. I sometimes play with her. She is funny person. I like her.

According to the data above it shows that the teacher did not give a

correction. He marked the studentsworksheet. It would make students confused. It

is because since there is no comment or correction given by the

teacher.Whereasthe students need correction to understand the context. Actually,

there are many errors made by the students in their work above.The errors are:

„She have long wavy hair‟. This sentence is incorrect, and the correct sentence is

„She has long wavy hair‟. Another incorrect sentence is „She like drinking lemon

tea everyday‟. The correct sentence is „She likes drinking lemon tea everyday‟.

This type of correction is not suitable for the second year students of SMP

N 2 Baturetno, because most of them have lack of motivation.

3.1.2 Identification of form errors without help toward correction

In this type, teacher only identifies the form of errors, but the

teacher did not help on the correction. Sometimes the teacher used this

type. He only identifies the error but he did not help the students to revise

their work. For example the teacher moves around the class and he finds

one of his students who made a text. He corrected the text and said: “it is

wrong, use V1” without additional explanation on the matrial.

3.1.3 Indirect error marking using a coding system for learner self correction

In teaching learning process, the teacher often uses this type. He

uses indirect error marking using a coding system for learner self-

correction. He gives sign or circle to mark the error of students work. Here

is the example:

My Brother

I have a brother. Her name is Habibi. He is a friendly and handsome boy. He is

17 years old. He have short and straight hair. He is a student of SMA 2 Salatiga. He go to

school by motorcycle. He go to school at 6.30 every morning. Her hobby is playing

football. He likes watching football match.

The correction above shows that the teacher does the type of

correction feedback indirectly on the error marking using a coding system

for learner self – correction type. With this correction type, the teacher

gives correction by using sign to mark the error, but the students must

correct them by herself/himself.

3.1.4 Direct correction of form errors

Direct correction of form error means the teacher corrects it

directly. In the class which is observed by the writer, the teacher seldom

uses this type. When the teacher checked students work one by one, he

found an error made by student. One of the errors is made made by Adetya

Restu Putra.He wrote: I have one brothers and two sisters. Directly the

teacher marked the error made by Adetya. The correction is: I have one

brothers and two sisters. The correction was done directly by the teacher at

the same time.

3.15 The use of Red Ink and Black Ink in Corrective Feedback

The use of ink color has certain meaning. Using pencil or blue/black ink to

mark is less excoriating than red ink.The students own writing then stands out

as the important writing on the page.What should be remember is that it is

notalways necessary or productive to highlight every grammatical error. The

marking should focus primarily on the purpose of the writing and whether the

student has achieved the required individual outcome. The red ink means that

it has taken on negative connotation and such limits the constructiveness of

Page 12: THE TYPES OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTED BY THE ...eprints.ums.ac.id/46976/1/NASKAH PUBLIKASI.pdf · Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: 1) jenis umpan balik guru

8

comments written in red ink. In the observation, the teacher uses the red ink

when she correct students work.

The teacher does this strategy, he always using red ink to correct students

work.

Following is the evidence of the correction by using red ink :

My Father

My father is about 40 years old. He have short and black hair. He is very friendly because he

knows almost everybody in the neighborhood. He is a diligent man. He cleans the garden and yard

every Sunday. He often works on the garden with his children.He is a good volleyball player. He

plays volleyball with our neighbors in the community center every Saturday.

The data above shows that some students still make some mistakes,

especially when they use conjunction because, although and when they use a

mental verb „have or has‟ and preposition„on‟. In this case the teacher has to

repeat the explanation clearly

3.1.6 The Students Responses of the Teaching Writing Descriptive

Text Using Teacher Corrective Feedback

The review of the students responses of the teaching writing using teacher

feedback is different from one and others student. The teacher uses corrective

feedback in teaching writing descriptive text because it is very effective. It means

that the teacher can identify the students‟ difficulties by knowing their errors.

From the difficulties of the students there are some responses.

The first from the metalinguistic feedback is the teacher provides

comments or questions related to the well- formedness of the student‟s utterances

feedback.

Based on th interview and observation the students response of second

year students of SMP N 2 Baturetno, one of the student says that:

Page 13: THE TYPES OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTED BY THE ...eprints.ums.ac.id/46976/1/NASKAH PUBLIKASI.pdf · Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: 1) jenis umpan balik guru

9

“Dengan pengajaran ini guru memberikan feedback dan membantu mengoreksi

pekerjaan saya yang salah mbak, jadi saya tau kesalahan jawaban saya”

It shows that the teacher gives feedback to the students, and the feedback

can make the students think more clearly. So students will answer the question

correctly.

Then, the teacher uses no correction but comments and question on

content to teaching writing descriptive text. In this type of corrective feedback the

teacher did not give a correction. She marked the studentsworksheet. It would

make students confused. It is because since there is no comment or correction

given by the teacher.Whereasthe students need correction to understand the

context.

Based on th interview and observation to the students of second year

students of SMP N 2 Baturetno, one of students said: “saya tidak tahu kesalahan

pekerjaan saya ada dibagian mana mbak, karena guru tidak memberi tanda salah

atau memberi tahu bagian yang salah”

This type of correction is not suitable for the second year students of SMP

N 2 Baturetno, because most of them have lack of motivation.

Next type is indirect error marking using a codingsystem for learner

selfcorrection. This type often use for teaching learning in writing. Based on the

interview and observation to the students of second year students of SMP N 2

Baturetno, one of student says that, “Jadi guru biasanya menyoret bagian yang

salah pada lembar keja saya dan saya harus membenarkan pekerjaan saya

sendiri mbak”

With this correction type, the teacher gives correction by using sign to

mark the error, but the students must correct them by herself/himself.

The use of ink color has particular meaning. Using pencil or blue/black

ink to mark is less excoriating than red ink. The marking should focus primarily

on the purpose of the writing and whether the student has achieved the required

individual outcome. The red ink means that it has taken on negative connotation

and such limits the constructiveness of comments written in red ink. In the

observation, the teacher uses the redink when he correct students work.

10

Based on the interview and observation to the students of second year

students of SMP N 2 Baturetno, one of student says that, “Dengan guru

memberikan coretan merah pada pekerjaan saya itu lebih memudahkan saya

mbak, untuk mengetahui kesalahan saya ada dibagian mana”

So, the writer can review type of teacher feedback in teaching learning in

writing descriptive text, the conclude of the type that the students easily to

understand the learning using corrective feedback. They can know what their

mistakes.

Based on the interview and observation to the students of second year

students of SMP N 2 Baturetno, one of the students say that,

“sayalebihsenangmenggunakanteknik corrective feedback.Karena sayabisa tau

kesalahannyasendiridanbisalebihpaham”

The teacher used some type of corrective feedback in teaching writing

descriptive text. And the student responses of the teaching writing descriptive text

using teacher feedback is different from one and others student,because

depending on the type of feedback given the teacher. The writer can conclude,

when the teacher gives direct feedback to the students make easily to understand

the learning and they can know what their mistakes. They said that the feedback

type applied by the teacher in the teaching writing descriptive makes them easy to

write and they can identify and correct the errors.

The teacher also used of ink color to correction the learning. In the

observation, the teacher uses the redink when she correct students work.In teacher

corrective feedback, students can know and correct the errors after it is corrected

by the teacher. Here, the teacher does not only correct the errors directly by

writing the correct one, but also pointing out and explaining to the students so that

they can correct by themselves. In addition, the teacher can identify the student

difficulties by knowing their errors so that it can accelerate the teaching learning

process. Besides, it is very helpful for the students because they know their errors.

3.2 Discussion

Based on the writers observation, the corrective feedback type was done

by teacher in SMP N 2 Baturetno of the second year students. The teacher used

Page 15: THE TYPES OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTED BY THE ...eprints.ums.ac.id/46976/1/NASKAH PUBLIKASI.pdf · Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: 1) jenis umpan balik guru

11

five types of feedback on content from six types of feedback on content, namely:

recast, clarification request, metalinguistic, and repetition. In feedback on content,

the teacher gave both of positive and negative feedback. The positive feedback

can be seen at metalinguistic process. In metalinguistic process, the teacher gave a

feedback which can build students motivation to repair their grammar. The

teacher suggested students to correct their answer by giving direction, such as:

“use present tense”. By using this type, students can enrich their vocabulary in

verb1.

For the writing feedback, the teacher also gives negative feedback. The

teacher used four of eight types of feedback, namely: no correction but comments

and question on content, identification of form errors without help toward

correction, indirect error marking using a coding system for learner self-

correction, and direct correction of form errors. The types of feedback used by the

teacher in writing feedback in negative too. He only gave a mark in error word, or

gave question mark in the content. It is negative for the second year students of

SMP N 2 Baturetno who most of them are extraordinary naughty. They have low

motivation to revise their own error without the help of the teacher.

Based on the data above, we can conclude that the teacher uses two kinds

of corrective feedback, that are positive and negative feedback. In implementing

the positive feedback, the teacher diretly writes the correct one to the students‟

errors. Richard and Lockhart (1994:189), state that positive feedback can be done

by indicating an incorrect answer and expending or modifying a students‟ answer.

It means that the teacher directly tell the incorrect one then correct it. The analysis

of the data, the teacher applies the suitable process of positive feedback.

In addition, the teacher also uses negative feedback to the students‟

writing. The teacher gives a circle sign then tells that it was wrong but she did not

correct it. She explains why it is wrong, and then she asks the students to correct

it by themselves. Richard and Lockhart (1994:190) also explain that negative

feedback can be accomplished in different way such as pointing out the error and

asking the students to self correct and commenting on an error and explaining

why it is wrong. Based on the writers‟ observation, the teacher implements the

Page 16: THE TYPES OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IMPLEMENTED BY THE ...eprints.ums.ac.id/46976/1/NASKAH PUBLIKASI.pdf · Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: 1) jenis umpan balik guru

12

negative feedback by pointing out them to the errors, explain the reason why it is

wrong without writing the correct one then asked the students to have self correct.

In this observation the teacher used five types of teacher corrective

feedback. From the theory teacher should give the student written correction in

their paper, but usually the teacher just return student‟s worksheet without

correction. So, the student don‟t know what they mistakes.

The authorities said that using red ink is not effective for the corrective

feedback, but in this observation the teacher uses the redink when she correct

students work. There is an article explain about use red ink in learning can give

negative impact for student, Sociologists Richard Dukes and Heather Albanesi of

the University of Colorado claim in a paper they've had published in The Social

Science Journal that when teachers use a red pen to add comments to student

papers, students perceive them more negatively than if they use another color pen.

Red ink have traditionally been used by teachers when grading papers ostensibly

to make their comments and markings stand out from the original work but this

new research suggests that the use of a red pen may convey unintentional negative

emotions.Butit is differentgoal from the observation, this article show that using

red ink can impact negatively but this observationprove that by using red ink the

student can easily find out the errors in the lesson. The teachers‟ purpose use red

ink is to show the students‟ error and they can know their mistakes easily. So, in

teacher corrective feedback, students can know and correct the errors after it is

corrected by the teacher. Here, the teacher does not only correct the errors directly

by writing the correct one.

Based on the explanation above, the researcher chooses one topic for her

research to know the problem faced by the teacher in applying and the advantages

of teacher feedback in teaching descriptive text for the students. Because from the

previous study they show that teaching writing used corrective feedback in

descriptive text was successful and effective.

4. Conclusion and Suggestion

After describing and analyzing the data, the writer draws conclusion based on

the observation of the teaching writing descriptive text using teacher feedback to the

second year of SMP N 2 Baturetno as follows:

1. The type of teacher feedback used in teaching descriptive text are feedback on

content (positive feedback), feedback on form (negative feedback) and the use of

red ink and black ink in corrective feedback. Feedback on content which is used

by the teacher in teaching writing descriptive text is metalinguistic. In the

metalinguistic, the teacher provides comments or questions related to the well-

formdness of the students utterances feedback. And the second type is feedback

on form (negative feedback) namely: no correction but comments and question on

content, identification of form errors without help toward correction, indirect error

marking using a coding system for learner self correction, and direct correction of

form errors. And the last type is the use of red ink in corrective feedback, in this

observation the teacher uses the red ink when she correct students worksheet.

2. The students responses of the teaching writing descriptive text using teacher

corrective feedback is different one and others. In response to the metalinguistic

feedback, where the teacher give feedback and help them to correction their work,

the first from the metalinguistic feedback is the teacher give feedback and help

them to correction their work, the students said that they know their mistakes.

The second respon from the teacher uses no correction but comments and

question on content, in this type of corrective feedback the teacher did not give a

correction and give back their worksheet. This strategy makes students confused.

This type is not suitable for the students. The next respon from indirect error by

using a coding system for learner self correction. In this type, the teacher gives

correction by using sign to mark the error, and students must correct them by

herself/himself. And the last respon is the use red ink in corrective feedback. In

this case, the teacher gives correction by using red ink to mark the error. They

admit that using red ink to correct their worksheet can make them easily

understand the learning and they can know what their mistakes. It can be

concluded that the student responses of the teaching writing descriptive text using

teacher feedback is different from one and others student,depending on the type of

feedback given the teacher.
