Abstract

The use of corrective feedback on students‟ writing is one of never
endless issues to discuss and received huge attention from lecturers, thesis
advisors and researchers. Various studies related to feedback have been
conducted whether to find out its effectiveness, strength, and weaknesses or to
improve the quality of students‟ writing. It cannot be denied that the way how
advisors provide feedback plays an essential role to help students build their
confidence to write and assist them to improve their writing. In accord to this,
this research attempted to seek the light on how advisors make a use of
feedback in writing and find out the factors the lecturers considered to provide
feedback. To achieve these goals, this study employed qualitative case study as
the research design involving three tenured lecturers in State Islamic College of
Ponorogo as the research subjects. Data related to kinds of strategies used by the
subjects in giving feedback and their underlying considerations were gotten by
employing interview and document observation. The collected data were
analyzed qualitatively to answer the research questions. This study revealed that
the subjects‟ strategies in giving feedback varied and these were closely related
to the targeted aims. Some strategies were identified, such as the use of
corrective feedback using minimal marking and comment, reflective feedback
by discussing some samples of students‟ errors and peer review. These
strategies were occupied under certain condition regarding the students‟ need
and proficiency level, types and amount of errors. Since the findings were
beneficial to suggest how feedback was effective to apply, it is recommended
for lecturers to adapt or adopt these feedback practices in order to help students
improve the quality of their writing.
