ABSTRACT

This paper aims to analyze the effects of combined use of questioning by students and indirect feedback given by a teacher on writing activities. Twenty-three female college students in the experimental group were taught to question problematic words,structures, content, and organization of their drafts. The teacher in the study responded only to the questions asked by the students and gave some indirect feedback byunderlining the errors that had not been noticed by the students. They wrote three drafts which were later evaluated by three native English instructors. There were two rounds of interaction between students and teacher: one after the first draft and the other after the second draft. The average scores rated by the three native instructors were used to measure the effectiveness of combining the two methods of questioning and indirect feedback. The results of the paired sample T-test analyses indicate meaningful improvement in their third drafts, compared to the first ones. Among the fourcategories, the students improved significantly in accuracy. The results of thequestionnaire survey and reflective recalls reveal that the students found the combined use of the two methods helpful and effective. The analyses of some students' draftssupport these positive findings.
