= Student-directed feedback on writing = I chose the written form of the conference by Nancy Cambell and Jennifer Schumm. we can find it from Glassgow. It is about student directed feedback on writing. I really liked the way they explained the advantages of student directed feedback on writing. As we know that while writing we face with many difficulties. Then we will ask for help from teacher. However, teacher's response is important here. For example, when we show our thesis statement to the teacher, teacher may not like our thesis statement. Sometimes teacher's response maybe negative. This may lead students to negative directions. Instead of giving brief information how to deal with thesis statement, he/she may just say that he/she did not like it. Then some students will not take his/her thesis statement to the teacher to check it again. In this article, the author trying to say that show students how to deal with writing, give positive response and give students greater control. The most important thing is to give positive response. Moreover, teacher can learn students' difficulties after seeing their errors in writing. The errors will be helpful for teachers to teach effectively. Teacher should guide students to write their writing in clear way. Students will be able to express their feelings clearly. Moreover, teacher should using drafts is good idea. If students write their first and second drafts, we can see their errors in writing. Considering the errors, we can find solutions to help students. Furthermore, using margins also good idea. Teacher can ask questions after reading students’writings if teacher doesn’t understand or the sentences is not clear. In future, we can use these methods. They are helpful for teachers. In summary, I really liked the way of approaching students in writing. I also agree with author. It is really good article.

Comments:

Feedback is very important for the student’s improvement. The way of giving feedback is also very important. As giving feedback may cause a very good effect on improving the students’ skills, it may also cause lack of students’ motivation. So, the teachers should be very careful when giving feedback. The way of giving feedback mentioned here can be useful for the students. Nowadays, things are becoming more and more student directed as the student centered teaching. Feedback should also be student directed. Positive response in giving feedback is very functional in increasing the students motivation. The teacher should be clever in using the margins. I think, I can use this way of giving feedback and I think it will have positive effects.
