Abstract

This study aimed to explore the students’ preference toward teacher’s feedback with different proficiency levels, to describe the most students’ preference in receiving feedback between teacher written feedback and CEWI at different proficiency levels and to figure out the strengths and weaknesses between teacher corrective feedback and CEWI. A qualitative design was chosen to conduct the study. 16 students from department of English education at STKIP Muhammadiyah Aceh Barat Daya in Aceh, Indonesia, were involved in this study. The participants were assigned into two different groups; high proficient students and risk proficient students after receiving the treatments. Students’ essays and semi-structured interviewed were used to collect the data. Data from the interview were coded and classified in a word processor by using NVivo 12 to get the conclusion. The findings showed that (1) all of them had a positive attitude toward the feedbacks because it helped them to improve their writing performance, (2) No matter high proficient students or risk proficient students assumed that most of them preferred teacher corrective feedback to Cambridge English Write and Improve (CEWI). Also, more than 10 students preferred to receive indirect feedback to direct feedback. In addition, teacher corrective feedback could check both global and local errors made by students meanwhile CEWI only focused on the local errors and (3) The strength of teacher corrective feedback was able to ask for the clarification directly and it provided the suggestions for both errors. While, CEWI provided the valuable feedback instantly in their writing. On the other hand, the weakness of teacher corrective feedback was spending a lot of time, while CEWI was only focused on local error and was not able to discuss. In conclusion, a teacher must be able in choosing and providing the appropriate feedback to students. A lot of things must be taken as his or her consideration so the feedback might assist and functional to students’ writing skill. In addition, both of feedback could give students benefit but a teacher’s role is the most important aspect needed by students to help them improving their writing.

Abstract

Performance-based assessments such as portfolios, presentations, and participation are now widely used in many English language education programs in public and private universities. There is significant research in the literature on teachers' attitudes toward these types of assessment approaches, but few have explored students' views on these types of assessment techniques. The aim of this study was to find out the attitudes of adult students towards performance based assessments and traditional tests and to see the relationship between length of study and performance based assessments and tests. This research applied a questionnaire to explore the opinions of adult English students (N=110) regarding performance-based assessments (portfolios, presentations and participation) and traditional types of test assessments. The quantitative findings indicate that the four forms of assessment were positively perceived by the participants in this study. The analysis of the background variables revealed that the length of the study had an interactive effect on students' opinions regarding this assessment method. Other background characteristics did not influence the students’ attitudes.
