Abstract

This study delves into the effectiveness of guided writing in enhancing fourth-grade students' ability to respond to simple questions in daily life contexts. Using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test, the research was carried out at an elementary school in Pameungpeuk Bandung with 42 participants. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students' writing skills. In the post-test, 21.4% of students reached an excellent classification, and 45.2% achieved a reasonable classification, a marked improvement from the pre-test, where none had done so. Students also showed better grammatical accuracy, sentence organization, vocabulary use, and confidence in writing. Guided writing emerged as a practical instructional approach, equipping young learners with the tools to strengthen their grammar, coherence, and motivation in writing. These findings underscore the practical implications of structured writing instruction, which can significantly enhance students’ ability to communicate effectively in written English, and it begins with effectively responding to simple questions in daily life.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between teaching style and students’ writing ability, focusing on the mediating role of feedback practice among tenth-grade EFL students at MA Bandung. Recognizing that effective writing instruction relies not only on the instructional methods used but also on how feedback is delivered, the research addresses ongoing challenges caused by inconsistent pedagogical and feedback practices in the classroom. A quantitative approach with a correlational  design was employed, involving 38 students who completed questionnaires on teaching style and feedback practice and participated in a standardized writing assessment. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and mediation tests to assess both direct and indirect effects. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between teaching style and feedback practice, and between teaching style and writing ability. However, feedback practice did not significantly mediate the relationship between teaching style and students' writing performance. These results suggest that while effective teaching promotes better feedback environments, feedback alone may not enhance writing outcomes unless it is clearly communicated and well-integrated into instruction. The study underscores the importance of adopting teaching style and feedback practice and enhancing the quality not just the quantity of feedback in EFL writing instruction.
