ABSTRACT
The objective of this study is to improve the writing ability to the eighth grade
students of SMP Negeri I Mlati in the academic year of 2012/2013 through indirect
feedback. In this research, the researcher implemented the teacher’s indirect feedback.
The feedback was in the forms of error correction codes that were given to the students’
writing.
This is an action research study consisting of two cycles. The main data of this
research were qualitative data that were supported by quantitative data. The qualitative
data were interview transcripts and field notes. The quantitative data were the student
writing scores. The interview transcripts were collected by conducting interviews with
the collaborator and the students. The instruments used within the interviews were
interview guidelines. The field notes were collected by doing classroom observations.
The instruments used within the classroom observations were observation sheets and
photographs taking. The quantitative data were collected by scoring the students’
writing. The instruments used in collecting the data were writing tests.
The result of the first cycle showed that the implementation of the teacher’s
indirect feedback improved the students’ writing skills. However, there were still many
errors of vocabulary, language use, and mechanics found in the students’ writings. The
result of the second cycle showed that the errors of vocabulary, language use, and
mechanics in the students’ writings decreased.Nunik Pujiyati
