writing need feedback from the teacher to improve their writing ability. The objectives of this
research are 1) to describe the process of teaching writing using corrective
feedback through Lesson Study program and 2) to describe the result of students’ writing ability after given

INTRODUCTION
Writing is important because not only reinforces
grammatical structures, idioms and vocabulary but alsothe students have a
chance to be adventurous with the language and finally the students are very
involved with the new language. In this part, the students have a unique way to
reinforce learning by combining constant use of eye, hand, and brain.Kendall and
Kuon (2006: 37) reveal a theory from educators’ point of view that “Teaching
writing to English Language Learners (ELLs) can be a challenge because they
frequently get confused about what they want to say as they work.” This means
writing enables teachers to be braver in giving students the appropriate way to
have them write what is on their minds and working on any information comes to
them. While, Robitaille and Connelly (2007: 3) have learners’ point of view
that, “Learning to write well is important because it gives you power. Writing
well enables you to accomplish your goals, whether those goals include being
successful in school, getting and keeping a good job, or simply expressing your
ideas clearly.” Learning writing can be used as a means to pursue learners’
dreams whether academically or non-academically.
However, there are some difficulties related to
writing. The psychological difficulty in which the writer has to decide what
information the readers need. Furthermore, there is a linguistic difficulty in
that language used in written language that is different from that used in
speech and in addition, there is a cognitive difficulty in which the students
have to organize their obliged to write and they do not know what to write more
on their paper.
Based
on the preliminary
research which consists
of observation, test,
questionaire, and interview showed that
the difficulty faced
the most for students in
writing was on developing ideas in paragraph. This was indicated from some
following problems: a) the students’ difficulties on Grammatical structure, b)
the students’ difficulties in finding appropriate vocabularies upon sentences
they made, and c) the students’ difficulties in organizing their ideas into
paragraphs.
From the conditions above, a lecturer should give some
alternatives to students about how to write a good paragraph, whatever the
paragraph is. So, their writing will be meaningful, well-organized, unity and
also coherent. In relation to the use of giving corrective feedback activity, there
have been some studies conducted at several schools, especially in junior high
school and senior high school. The finding of the previous studies show that
this activity is effective and helpful for the students and the teachers, but
the emphasis of conducting this research is how I help the students in
organizing their ideas, so that their writing result will be organized well,
their sentences will be arranged in a right unity and coherent. Based on the
background of the study, the research questions are:
1) How is the process of teaching writing using
corrective feedback through Lesson Study program ?
2) How is the result of
students’ writing ability after given corrective feedback by the lecturer?
