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.
