| dc.description.abstract | Providing corrective feedback that suits students’ needs can make students more willing to
accept error correction, which will be beneficial for the development of their English language
skills. This research aims to identify the perceptions and preferences of International Program
(IP) students towards Oral Corrective Feedback (OCF) in speaking activities. This research
was conducted quantitatively using a survey study by adopting Gamlo's Questionnaire (2019).
Respondents in this research were 65 EFL freshmen from five different IP study programs that
participate in the Bridging IP Program at a private university in Indonesia. The current research
shows that IP students have positive perceptions related to the implementation of OCF in
speaking activities (M = 3.79). In terms of preferences for the timing of OCF, most IP students
prefer to get OCF after the speaking activity was finished (M = 3.69, SD = 0.789), and the
implementation of OCF at the end of the class is their last preference choice (M = 3.58, SD =
0.808). Regarding preferences for types of errors, IP students want all types of errors to be
corrected with OCF. Finally, regarding providers of OCF, IP students prefer their teachers as
the main providers of OCF (M = 4.02, SD = 0.857), while the least preferred provider is self-
correction (M = 3.63, SD = 1.167). The current research result can be used as a reference for
teachers who want to implement OCF in accordance with the students’ perceptions and
preferences. Additionally, based on the findings of this research, it implies that teachers can
apply the OCF process after the students finish their speaking activities to correct errors such
as grammar errors, vocabulary errors, and pronunciation errors. | en_US |
