AN ANALYSIS OF ORAL CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK USED BY THE TEACHER IN TEACHING SPEAKING AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 12 KERINCI ACADEMIC YEAR 2023/2024

Oral Corrective Feedback is an essential part of the learning process that contributes to improving students‟ English speaking skills. It involves both positive and negative feedback used to correct students‟ mistakes in using language features that they have not yet mastered. This research aims to analyze the types of oral corrective feedback used by English teachers in teaching speaking at Senior High School 12 Kerinci and to investigate students‟ responses to the feedback during the 2023/2024 academic year. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, and the data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. After the data were collected, they were analyzed to draw conclusions. The results show that not all types of corrective feedback are suitable for all speaking aspects. Different types of feedback are more effective depending on the nature of the students‟ speaking errors. Teachers need to provide feedback that motivates students and improves their speaking performance. Oral corrective feedback can be delivered either directly during speaking activities or afterward, depending on the situation and the students‟ needs. Overall, students responded positively to the feedback, as it helped them identify their mistakes and develop their speaking skills.
