The research design was embedded mixed method design with qualitative dominant. The data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative. The results showed that teachers gave strongly positive perceptions about TEYL. Meanwhile, the activities which occurred in the learning process were mostly deal with the component of “Teaching Through Activities” with average range was 10.33. This range means that the component of teaching through activities was very highly implemented among the nine components. The other components were rarely evident during the observation. Based on the result of interview, the main problems which were encountered by the teachers are the difficulty to teach pronunciation to the students, limited learning sources, limited time for preparing lesson, and lack of various learning activities. Thus, this study suggests the government or other policy makers to provide English teachers with some kinds of professional development on practical guidance of TEYL and sufficient learning sources as well.

Abstract

The research objectives are 1) to prove the significant effects of direct and indirect corrective feedbacks on the students’ writing competency, 2) to prove significant differences of the effects of direct and indirect corrective feedbacks on the students’ competency in writing descriptive texts and recount texts. These research applied a quasi-experimental design with repeated measures. The sample was recruited from two intact classes using purposive sampling. Prior to conducting the experiment, the writing competency test was administered to measure the students’ writing competency across text types. Prior to administration, the instrument was validated for its readability (Readibility = 82.00), reliability (Cronbach alpha=0.98), and content validity (Pearson’s=1.00). The obtained data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The results show, firstly, there were significant effects of direct and indirect corrective feedbacks on the students’ writing competency at SMPN 2 Manggis. However, the effect of direct corrective feedback is more effective than that the indirect corrective feedback. Secondly, there were significant differences of the effects of direct and indirect corrective feedbacks across descriptive texts and recount texts especially on the descriptive text about place and recount text about students’ experience. However, the effect of direct corrective feedback is more effective than that the indirect corrective feedback. The results imply the necessity to apply the direct corrective feedback than the indirect corrective feedback when the Junior High School’s students write descriptive and recount texts
