Summary
A research was conducted by John Bitchener, Stuart Young and Denise Cameron with the topic of the research on The Effect of Different Types of Corrective Feedback on ESL Student Writing. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the types of corrective feedback help the post-intermediate ESOL students to improve their writing skill. In order to check the effectiveness of using these types of corrective feedback, the researchers began conducting

So, this paper reports a qualitative and quantitative study where it investigated whether the type of feedback given to the 53 adult migrant students on three types of error resulted in improved accuracy in new pieces of writing over a 12 week period. However, the quantitative methodology was just used to ensure the validity and the accuracy of the qualitative data. So, the question addresses for this study is about to what extent does the type of corrective feedback on linguistic errors determine accuracy performance in new pieces of writing? In order to get the data, the main method used for collecting and gathering the data for this study was a comparison case study in which pre-test and post test, conference session were used for the qualitative method and accuracy’s measurement (quantitative). The researcher wanted to make a comparison whether which group has bigger percentage in making errors and which group has fewer errors. The data analysis was done partially through the combination of qualitative (linguistic error and time) and also quantitative which the data was measured by accuracy performance (percentage
