Abstract

The importance of business correspondence mastery for students in business schools is critical, as it differs significantly from academic writing in humanities programs. Its primary aim is to prepare students for professional success and service excellence in their future careers. This study explores the subtleties of written corrective feedback in business writing courses. It examines the types and techniques used by lecturers and analyzes students' perceptions of this feedback. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study combines observational and qualitative data through document analysis, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. It involves lecturers and 65 students from a business writing course, with a specific focus on analyzing 64 student assignments for lecturers' feedback practices. The results indicate a preference for indirect feedback, primarily addressing grammatical errors through techniques like circling, underlining, and highlighting, complemented by direct comments and questions. Most students viewed this feedback positively, noting its benefit in improving grammatical skills, though some preferred more direct feedback on content and structure. These findings underscore the need for diverse feedback methods in business writing education to accommodate varied student needs and enhance engagement and learning outcomes. The study emphasizes the significance of customized feedback strategies in the effectiveness of teaching and learning in business writing courses.Top of Form

Abstract

This study delves into the pivotal role of feedback in English writing instruction, a crucial element for enhancing language proficiency and writing skills among English language learners. The primary aim of the research is to examine students' perceptions of teacher feedback and to identify the types of feedback they receive, which are essential for improving teaching strategies and student outcomes. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the research analyzed responses from 22 students, collected through a questionnaire adapted from the frameworks of Lee (2011) and Ellis & Sheen (2011) to reflect the local educational setting. The results reveal a mixed reception to teacher feedback: while it is valued for improving writing skills, it also sometimes causes confusion and anxiety due to unclear instructions or the use of complex metalinguistic symbols. The types of feedback reported include direct, indirect, and metalinguistic feedback. Direct feedback proved effective in enhancing clarity and understanding, whereas indirect and metalinguistic feedback was occasionally linked to negative emotions such as anxiety and embarrassment. Despite these challenges, the study concludes that properly structured feedback can significantly foster cognitive development, prompting students to refine their thought processes, explore ideas independently, and become adept at self-correction. This underscores the need for educators to consider both the content and delivery of feedback to maximize its effectiveness and minimize potential stressors for learners.
