<p>This article discusses how self-monitoring technique can be implemented effectively in improving the students’ grammar in their writing and to what extent the improvement can be attained. It departs from the issue of Corrective Feedback (CF) i. e. the controversy of the effectiveness of CF and the type of CF that is effective. The self-monitoring technique is promoted to cope both. A Classroom Action Research had been conducted to a group of senior high school students in Indonesia. Observation and interview were employed to collect the qualitative data while test was used to obtain the quantitative data. The findings suggest that: (1) self-monitoring technique could be implemented effectively due to the presence of the students’ autonomy and it must work together with sufficient teacher’s scaffolding (2) it could improve the students’ grammar in writing viewed from the improvement of the students’ score and from the types of the mistakes. As the finding of this research has not yet investigated the effect on acquisition, further researches might be in a longer period are highly recommended.</p>

This research was aimed to examine the correlation between self confidence and learning independency among senior high school students. This research was a quantitative study which involved all student of class XI social science major (ilmu pengetahuan sosial/IPS) in SMA Negeri 1 Porong with the total number of 88 students. The instrument used to collect data were self confidence and independent learning scales. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product moment. The result shows that the coefficient correlation is 0,683 (r=0,683) in the significant level of  0,000 (p=0,000). The result means that there is correlation between self confidence and learning independency in which the relation between both variables is unidirectional. So, the higher the self confidence student have, the higher their learning independency would be and vice versa.Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji hubungan antara kepercayaan diri dengan kemandirian belajar pada siswa XI IPS SMA Negeri 1 Porong. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 88 siswa di SMA Negeri 1 sehingga disebut penelitian populasi, karena jumlah subjek penelitian dibawah 100. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah skala kepercayaan diri dan skala kemandirian belajar. Analisis data menggunakan product moment. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,683  (r=0,683) dengan taraf signifikan 0,000 (p=0,000) artinya terdapat hubungan antara variabel kepercayaan diri dengan kemandirian belajar dimana hubungan antar variabel adalah searah.

Written corrective feedback (WCF) in L2 writing classrooms has gained considerable attention in applied linguistics research over the past twenty years. WCF may take different forms of teacher’s responses to errors in students’ texts, among others Coded-Correction Feedback (CCF) and Non-Coded Correction Feedback (NCCF). A number of research studies on the effectiveness of various types of corrective feedback have been undertaken; however the effect of CCF and NCCF on the quality of students’ writing in Indonesian context has not yet been explored. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Coded Correction Feedback and Non-Coded Correction Feedback on senior high school students’ writing quality. This study investigated the effect of Coded-Correction Feedback (CCF) and Non-Coded Correction Feedback (NCCF) on the quality of Indonesian EFL students’ writing. It involved 53 senior high school students of 11th Grade. Each student was exposed to two different treatments (CCF and NCCF) and the students’ writing quality, after receiving each type of treatments or WCF, was then measured. The effect of each feedback was estimated by comparing the individual students’ scores in writing composition after receiving CCF with their scores after receiving NCCF. The result of this study revealed that the quality of the students’ writing with CCF was better than that with NCCF. The findings of this study showed that the quality of the students’ writing receiving CCF was better than that receiving NCCF because CCF promotes awareness with noticing as well as understanding. Hence, the use of CCF can be considered more effective than NCCF.  Therefore, it is suggested that CCF be employed in giving corrective feedback to the students’ compositions to improve the quality of their writing, and that teachers employ CCF when giving WCF to improve the quality of students’ writing.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of teacher and peer written corrective feedback (WCF) on Indonesian senior high school students’ writing performance. A total of 71 Indonesian senior high school students from Grade X participated in this study; 36 were provided teacher WCF and 35 peers WCF. To collect and data, the participants were asked to write a legend essay. Using qualitative data analysis, we aimed to reveal the effectiveness of teacher and peer WCF in improving students’ writing performance. Adapted scoring rubric was employed to measure students’ overall writing performance, and competencies in relation to writing components such as content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. The results revealed that peer WCF can better enhance students’ writing abilities compared to teacher WCF. Furthermore, students who received teacher WCF showed substantial improvement in performance relating to all writing components except mechanics. In contrast, peer WCF enhanced students’ organization and vocabulary related performance. HIGHLIGHTS: Peer WCF is more effective than teacher WCF in enhancing Indonesian senior high school students’ writing performance, especially in writing legend texts. Teacher WCF helped significantly improve four components of writing competence: content, organization, vocabulary, and language, while peer WCF positively impacted organization and vocabulary components. Combining both teacher and peer WCF could be more beneficial in improving students’ writing achievement than either type of WCF alone.

The researchers used a survey questionnaire as a tool to be answered by the Senior High School students in Jagobiao National High School the data gathered will be treated using the weighted mean, frequency, percentage and lambda to determine their correlation. The influence of the variables are noticeable not significant to each other. It means that if they don’t develop their self-concept environmentally and innately, there are other factors that develop the achievement of the students on the concept of the self.
