It can also affect language learning and improve students’ motivation (Ellis, 2009). This includes the teacher’s awareness of students’ needs primarily in terms of error correction. The importance of teacher’s feedback is crucial in order for students to develop their language skills. Students’ error correction is common in many researches to be beneficial in second and foreign language, but not many of them have revealed the style that students prefer when teachers correct their error. This research looks into students’ preference of verbal corrective feedback. A set of questionnaire was distributed to local university students. Results from the survey indicate higher preference to explicit correction compared to other types of corrective feedback. The result of this research is aimed to improve the practice of error correction in ESL classroom. Keyword: teacher’s feedback, error correction, corrective feedback, explicit correction

Some of the techniques enable learners to focus on the meaning, thus making them intrinsically motivated. In addition to that, it is also suggested that the content has to be authentic to the students. The use of movies in oral commentary in the ESL classroom can be beneficial to the students in many ways. Besides being a good example of authentic material, movies motivate students towards learning. In addition to that, activities used to incorporate the use of movies allow constructivist learning to take place. This quantitative study reports the survey done on students who have undergone a semester of using movies in the ESL classroom to make oral commentaries. Results of the study will have interesting implications towards the use of movies for students oral presentation.

Successful writers are capable of using effective writing strategies and transferring these strategies to write academic texts in their content areas. Skills in academic writing is used way beyond the ESL writing classrooms. Students from institutions of higher learning use academic writing to submit assignments. The knowledge (or lack of) academic writing strategies will facilitate (or hinder) their assignment writing. This study looks into the writing process of Diploma Engineering students. Using the Flower and Hayes writing process model (1981) as the basis of study, this quantitative study. describes the strategies ESL writers use when they write their written assignments. Results of this study will have useful implications towards the teaching of academic writing in the future.
