Some research have been conducted in the field of code switching, however, very little was done in looking both the types and the reasons of doing it in the group discussion context. This research focuses on exploring the types of code-switching used by the students in EFL classroom during group discussion and the reasons why the students used code-switching during group discussion in EFL classroom.

Abstract

Academic writing skills are important, yet they present significant challenges due to their formal structure, linguistic accuracy, and the need for critical thinking. This research investigates the effectiveness of form-focused written feedback in improving students' academic writing skills. Using a quantitative experimental design, this study involved forty English department students at a university in Yogyakarta. Data were analyzed using a t-test after normality and homogeneity tests. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' post-test scores relative to their pre-test scores on an academic writing test (p-value = 0.00 < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of form-focused written feedback in enhancing academic writing skills. This study contributes new insights into the role of form-focused written feedback in academic writing at the university level, highlighting its value in fostering accuracy and students’ writing confidence.
