Abstract

In a teaching-learning process, a teacher interacts with his/her students. This interaction may be manifested among others by giving affective feedback to the students’ correct utterances, as well as being focused on what needs improvement and by giving them informational feedback by making note of their errors. Receiving informational or affective feedback will become one of the experiences for students in learning a foreign language.
This study investigated the effect of teacher’s feedback in speaking class on students’ learning experience in local context. This study involves sixty eight participants from three classes in the eleventh grade of a Senior High School in Yogyakarta. Observational study and survey are the methods utilized to gain the data. Supported by qualitative data, this study attempts to figure out the effect of teacher’s feedback in speaking class on students’ learning experience.
From the study, it was understood (1) that two types of teacher’s feedback namely affective feedback and informational feedback occur in speaking class, and (2) that teacher’s feedback contributes beneficial effects to students’ learning experience. Teacher’s feedback motivates the students and informs them about their speaking ability. The result of the study also indicates that students expected their teacher to give them affective feedback even though when they made erroneous utterances. This expectation was viewed as a means to give the students the feeling of self worth. It was also seen as reinforcement for students to stimulate their motivation to learn. Giving informational feedback too much was regarded as having possibility to cause embarrassment and other negative learning experience.
