Indirect Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) is a type of feedback on linguistic errors without giving the correct target form. This type of feedback is recommended under the consideration that teachers are not editors, but facilitators who provide hints to assist students work on their own text. This research investigated the students’ affective reactions toward indirect WCF in the process of learning writing. It was also purposed to investigate its impact on students’ writing quality. The subject of the research was the first-year students of English Study Program. The method of the research was descriptive qualitative. The instruments of interview and writing assignment were deployed as the data. It was found there were positive affective reactions toward the implementation of Indirect WCF. Students thought that it was useful, helpful, motivating, corrective, and informative. Nevertheless, a few students felt that the time given was too short and demanded for more accurate and clear correction codes. It was also found that Indirect WCF helped the participant students gain better quality of their paragraph writing indicated in the significant reducing number of errors after receiving feedback. Though the most types of linguistic errors were found in the case of tenses, students were able to minimize those errors into a few.

The fact that writing was considered as difficult for most students still remained an unresolved issue. Yet, some educators still continued disregarding what was going on with students’ writing difficulty to promote appropriate way in their teaching of writing. Thus this study was aimed at finding out students’ writing difficulty in composing a descriptive text of the FirstYear Students at STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa Sintang. This study employed quantitative descriptive analysis to describe students’ writing difficulty. One class of first year students of English Language Study Program took part in this study. The data were gathered through writing test that was done on November 6th,2017. The finding showed that students had significant difficulty in composing a descriptive text. It was proved by the mean score of students’ writing quality, i.e. 46 or classified as very poorbased on the criteria suggested by Jacob (1981). Therefore, it was imperative for thelecturer in this class to encourage the learners togive more emphasis on itemsseen difficult by the students in composing the text. Keywords: students’ writing difficulty, teaching writing, descriptive text

To date, little understanding exists of how first-year students in professionally oriented higher-education (HE) programs (i.e., those that provide vocational education to prepare students for a particular occupation) experience their academic transition process. In the present study, we first argued how the constructs of academic adjustment and academic integration can provide complementary perspectives on the academic transition of first-year students in (professional) HE. Next, we examined what first-year students in professional HE contexts perceive to be the most important experiences associated with their academic transition process in the first semester of their first year of higher education (FYHE). To this end, we adopted the fundamentals of the critical incident technique and asked 104 students in a Flemish (Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) university college (which offers professional HE programs, such as nursing) to complete “reflective logs” with open questions at the start of the second semester of their FYHE, wherein they reflected on three critical academic experiences during their first semester. An inductive, cross-case content analysis of the collected narratives showed that students reported on nine themes of academic experiences, which relate to five adjustment themes (dealing with the organization of the study program, organizing study work, committing to the study, following class and taking notes, and processing learning content outside class) and four integration themes (feeling competent, feeling stressed, feeling prepared, and feeling supported). Further analyses showed that although some of the nine themes of academic experiences appear to be more important at different times in the first semester, they all seem to be meaningful throughout the whole semester.

Examining EFL writing teachers’ beliefs is becoming an essential study since teaching is no longer being noticed merely in a behaviour term but rather as thoughtful behaviour as teachers are active, thinking decision-maker. This study addresses the teachers’ beliefs in the specific teaching writing strategy that is commonly used by the teachers in Indonesia to assist students’ writing, teacher written corrective feedback. It was designed as a case study surveying two teachers from a secondary school in Lampung as its respondents. This current study aims at (1) exploring teachers’ beliefs in providing teacher written corrective feedback both in the explicitness and the amount of feedback, and (2) describing the factors that shape teachers’ beliefs in providing written corrective feedback. The data were collected by using mixed-type questionnaire and interview adapted from Lee (2009) consisting of three items related to the beliefs in written corrective feedback, followed by the factors that shape the beliefs teachers may hold on. The findings show some underlie different beliefs regarding the explicitness and amount of teacher written corrective feedback between the teachers. However, they agreed that academic background in the secondary school and college was counted as the contributed factor that shapes their beliefs in providing written corrective feedback on students’ writing. Further, teacher added practical experience when they are teaching writing as her additional factor.

To see the difference in students' ability in writing expository paragraphs, this research uses a comparison between log learning and conventional learning strategies. Using true-experimental research, there were pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The subject of this research was the first-year students of State Senior High School 1 Selatpanjang, Meranti Island Regency. Two classes were deployed; an experimental and a control class with total of 47 students. The researchers used cluster random sampling, based on the group. In collecting data, the researchers used a test and an observation list. In assessing students’ writing, the researchers invited two raters, those who are qualified and considered as experts in teaching writing. The researchers analyzed the data by using t-test formula. The result shows that the mean score of students’ post-test in the control class was 65,5. Meanwhile, the mean score of students’ post-test in experimental class was 73,4. The result of t test sees a significant difference between students’ ability in writing expository paragraphs by using Learning Logs Strategy and those using Conventional Strategy (5.26). This result was higher than t table significant 5% (2,02) and 1% (2,69). H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. It means that there was a significant difference in students’ ability in writing an expository paragraph using Conventional Strategy and using Learning Logs Strategy.
