The participants of this research were three lecturers who teach Oracy Class. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations with the guidance of interview protocol and observation checklist as the instruments. In this study, it was found that lecturers used oral corrective feedback by giving reformulation through explicit correction and recast and giving prompt through clarification request, metalinguistic feedback, and repetition. Then, their reasons for using certain types of oral corrective feedback were because they were considering the students’ level and skills and preparing the students for global competition. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the lecturers only applied five types of oral corrective feedback proposed by Lyster and Ranta (1997) such as explicit correction, recast, clarification request, metalinguistic feedback and repetition.]]>
