This research intends to study on the effects of teacher's other-formed writing feedback on the improvement of learner's writing accuracy and affective aspect.To achieve it, this research gave writing task of same subject to 16 adult Korean learners,provided oral conference feedback or direct written feedback foritto learners and conducted survey and post-interview before and after the feedback. Learners submitted total 8 times of writing task,
4 times of rewriting for same subject after 4 times of writing for 4 different subjects and feedback and all of the results of learners were analyzed by statistic alanalysis.
If abstracting the results of this research, the first, there was no difference in oral conference feedback and direct written feedback for the improvement of accuracy aspect among the learner's writing abilities.The error rate of learner
writing's whole forms was measured and compared. As the result, both of two types of feedback showed reduced error rate in descriptive analysis. But, as the result of statical analysis, the differences were not significant statistically.
However, the analys is of group was conducted based on the results of two group's pre-writing and post-writing. As the result, in case of the group of oral conference feedback, error rate of form by each category didn't show more significant difference after the feedback than before the feedback, but the error rate of the whole forms showed statistically significant rate of reduction. So, oral conference feedback made a positive effect from the accuracy aspect of learner's writing. On the contrary, the error rate of not only the whole forms but also forms by categories didn't show significant difference after learners
got the feedback. So, direct written feedback couldn't draw the improvement from the aspect of accuracy among the learner's writing abilities.
The second, it examined if two types of feedback make a positive effecton learner's affective aspect through the pre-survey, post-survey and post-interview. As the result, the group with oral conference feedback showed statistically significant improvement in the part of interests among the 3
affective aspects of writing. On the other hand, direct written feedback didn't show significant improvement statistically from all of three affective aspects;
interests, confidence and motivation. So,oral conference feedback made more positive effect on the part of interests among the learner's affective aspects in comparison with directwritten feedback. In addition, learners of the group
obtaining the oral conference feedback through the post-survey and post-interview showed high satisfaction for the oral conference feedback and answered thatthey wanted to get oral conference feedback continuously, but among the learners getting direct written feedback, there were more learners who wanted to get oral conference feedback rather than direct written feedback. So,oral conference feedback made more positive effect on learner's writing and the affective aspects for feedback incomparison with direct written feedback.
Through the results of experiment, oral conference feedback can bring the improvement of learner's writing accuracy as much as the direct written feedback and makes more positive effects from the affective aspect. Therefore, this research is significant because oral conference feedback was suggested as a method of feedback, which teachers can apply in the teaching of Korean writing.
