How does corrective feedback foster students’ argumentative essay writing quality? A self-narrative inquiry study

Sri Wahyuningsih

Abstract


Argumentative essays are one of the materials taught in the writing class in Indonesian higher education. It shapes students’ creative thinking skills in presenting their arguments about the case in detail. The present study explores the role of corrective feedback in fostering students’ argumentative essay writing quality in Indonesian higher education. Adopting a self-narrative inquiry study, I would like to highlight my experience teaching argumentative essays to students in the English education department of Indonesian higher education. These include teaching practices in the writing class during one semester starting from February to June 2023, practices of providing corrective feedback in students’ argumentative essays, the roles of corrective feedback for fostering students’ argumentative essays, and my reflection on teaching argumentative essays during one semester including materials and others. The implication of this study is discussed.
