Abstract

The study explores the use of feedback by pre-service teachers in their internship teaching program in three high schools in Bandung, Indonesia.The study investigates the general beliefs on feedback, the types of feedback, and responses toward the feedback used in the classroom. The study found out that the pre-service teachers have already had common grounds on beliefs of feedback–being able to define feedback as a way to motivate students in learning, recognise students’circumstances, and strengthen the learning materials. Besides, the pre-service teachers had a belief that feedback has an effect to their students on mindset and behavioral changes, and conducted the follow up tasks afterwards. In practical level, the pre-service teachers have implemented three types of feedback—verbal motivating feedback, physical reward, and error related-feedback. They often used verbal motivating feedback rather than the others. This indicates that the students still need motivation to learn the language. The study also shows that the students reacted differently toward their teachers’use of feedback. The reactions are in the form of mental reaction, physical reaction, and verbal reaction. The mental reaction has the highest percentage of all. Thus, the study has successfully brought the use of feedback in the classroom context.
