- Abstract
Students’ emotional responses towards teacher’s feedback may influence the result of the revision of the writing draft composed by the students. Within this concept, this study explores how students’ emotional responses including how they feel towards teacher’s feedback and what factors influence how the students revise their writing. Seven students were involved in this study and in-depth interviews were carried out to obtain students’ emotional responses. The results show that low proficiency level students’ emotional responses towards teacher’s feedback include acceptance of feedback, rejection of feedback, disappointment, frustration, and depression. This study reveals that students’ emotional responses affect the success in the writing process. Besides, some factors that influence the way how the students revise their writing indicated from internal and external factors. Pertinent to the internal factors, most of the students stated some points: 1) they did not understand the feedback from the teacher, 2) they felt embarrassed and afraid to ask to the teacher about the feedback, 3) they were afraid of making errors or repeated errors. External factors were teacher’s mood and limited time allocated for teacher-student conference. The findings suggest that teachers need to take into account students’ feelings and emotions while providing feedback for the students. In addition, teachers need to carefully choose a strategy in giving feedback to enhance students’ emotional engagement so that the students can easily understand the feedback .
