This research aimed at investigating the use of Grammarly software and in what terms it was more effective in reducing students’ errors in EFL writing compared to teacher corrective feedback (indirect corrective feedback). This research used the quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. There were 40 university students from English Education Study Program of a private university in Indonesia who were selected and randomized clustered into two; experimental and control groups. The students were tested at the beginning and the end of the research. The quantitative data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The results of the research confirm that the students whose work is evaluated by using Grammarly have a significant reduction in their errors compared to those whose work is evaluated by the teacher (indirect corrective feedback). The software is shown to be more effective to reduce the errors in terms of vocabulary usages (diction), language use (grammar), and mechanics of writing (spelling and punctuation). However, it is less effective to improve the content and organization of students’ EFL writing. This research can suggest EFL/ESL teachers with an alternative assessment for students’ writing that supports an autonomous learning environment.

Abstrak Meskipun motivasi dianggap penting sebagai salah satu faktor utama penentu pencapaian belajar siswa, pokok persoalan berkaitan dengan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi motivasi siswa dalam mempelajari mata kuliah tertentu, khususnya menulis Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing yang berkaitan dengan para mahasiswa Indonesia, belum dikaji secara mendalam. Kajian dalam makalah ini bertujuan untuk meneliti faktor motivasi yang dirasakan oleh para mahasiswa Indonesia di kelas menulis Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing mereka. Peserta dalam kajian ini adalah 19 mahasiswa semester pertama di kelas Creative Writing F di Program Studi Pendidikan Guru Bahasa Inggris, Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana, tahun ajaran 2014/2015. Data penelitian diambil dari jurnal reflektif dimana para peserta menuliskan refleksi mereka berkaitan dengan pokok persoalan tersebut. Analisa data nampak membuktikan bahwa kinerja positif seorang guru, teman sekelas yang inspiratif, orang tua yang memotivasi, dan suasana kelas yang positif merupakan faktor utama yang mempengaruhi motivasi belajar para mahasiswa di dalam kelas mereka. Pada akhirnya, kajian ini nampak mengindikasikan pentingnya kolaborasi konstruktif antara guru, mahasiswa, dan orang tua sebagai faktor utama penentu motivasi belajar dan pencapaian akademis para siswa di dalam kelas menulis mereka.Kata-kata kunci: motivasi, faktor motivasi, menulis Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing, kelas Creative Writing AbstractDespite the essence of motivation as one of primary determinants for students’ learning achievement, issues of factors influencing students’ motivation in learning a particular subject, particularly English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing with regard to Indonesian university students, have not been discussed sufficiently. The study reported in this paper aims to explore motivational factors perceived by Indonesian university students in their EFL writing classroom.

ABSTRACT In writing class, producing a well-polished text passes two main stages: pre writing and drafting. During these stages, interactions take place which can be in form of learners-learners and learners-lecturers interactions. Dealing with this, two main questions should be directed towhat practices of interaction conducted  during writing class and how lecturers reflect them. The data were collected from four writing lecturers of English Education Program of State Islamic University Sulthan Thaha Saifudin Jambiwho have at least two years teaching experience. An interview conducted to each of them to explore what interactions were facilitating and less facilitating learners.The result showed that oral and written interaction were found from both learners-learners and learners-lecturers interactions.As reflected by the lecturers, both oral and written interactions made sense for the learners with particular assistances. Specifically, a long written comments on the learners’ drafts contributed better revision. ABSTRAK Untuk memproduksi sebuah teks yang terpoles dengan baik, ada dua tahapan utama yang dilalui di kelas Writing yakni tahapan pramenulis dan tahapan membuat draft. Selama tahapan tersebut,  interaksi berlangsung antara mahasiswa dengan mahasiswa dan antara dosen dengan mahasiswa. Terkait dengan hal ini, ada dua pertanyaan yang diajukan yakni apa saja praktek interaksi yang terjadi di kelas Writing dan bagaimana dosen merefleksikannya. Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan dari empat orang dosen Writing di program studi pendidikan Bahasa Inggris UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifudddin Jambi yang memiliki pengalaman mengajar paling sedikit dua tahun. Interview dilakukan dengan mereka untuk mengetahui interaksi apa saja yang dapat memfasilitasi mahasiswa dalam menulis. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat interaksi secara oral dan tertulis dari mahasiswa dengan mahasiswa dan mahasiswa dengan dosen. Seperti yang direfleksikan oleh para dosen, kedua tipe interaksi tersebut bermakna bagi mahasiswa dengan asistensi khusus. Temuan spesifiknya adalah bahwa komentar panjang tertulis pada draft mahasiswa mampu membuat revisi draft mereka menjadi lebih baik.How to Cite: Monalisa. (2017).

One of the influential factors that could affect students’ writing skill is verbal creativity (VC). As an attempt to promote VC in EFL writing, two learning models i.e. cooperative learning and problem-based learning are incorporated and modified. This study was aimed at: (1) describing the structure of the framework of Co-PBL in order to promote VC in EFL writing; and (2) evaluating the feasibility of the framework of Co-PBL in EFL writing class. To achieve the goals of this study, a descriptive explanatory research was applied. It involves the EFL writing teachers and the first and second-grade students of English Education Department of a private university in East Java, Indonesia. The data were gathered through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), observation, semi-structured interview, and questionnaire. Incorporating cooperative learning (CL) and problem-based learning (PBL) results in the Co-PBL framework to guide the students through PBL cycles based on CL principles. The Co-PBL framework was also modified by inserting learning activities which could promote VC in EFL writing in each phase or cycle of PBL. Further, it was also confirmed that the Co-PBL framework is feasible to be implemented in EFL writing class. These findings, then, might have significant implications for EFL writing teachers and students.
