The objective of the research is to investigate: (1) whether any positive
affect of Peer Feedback technique toward students’ writing; (2) whether any
positive effect of Self Revising technique toward students’ writing; (3) which
technique is better to be applied toward students’ writing. This research was conducted in STKIP Garut from September until November 2012 toward 2 classes with the same abilities that was seen from Pretest score before the research. The research was a comparative research. Three research stages that had been done to organize the data are (1) giving the pre test before the research with the analysis; (2) the treatment of Peer Feedback and Self Revising technique toward A and B class; (3) the analysis of post test and comparison of two technique results. There are three kinds of assessments based on “Rubric Writing Assessment” that is organizing paragraph (organization), developing topic sentence (content) and choosing vocabularies and well structured sentences (style). The data were analyzed by using Independent T-Test. Based on data analysis, there are three conclusions: First, there are significant abilities based on the student’s scores using Peer Feedback technique toward student expository paragraph, the observed 8.896 and ttable 2.640. The ability of the students increase with Mean Pre test 48.75 and Mean Post test 70.40. Second, there are significant abilities on student scores using Self Revising in making Expository paragraph, the tobserved 4.182 and ttable 2.640 and Mean Pre test 49.75 and Mean Post test 60.90. Third, the ability of students using Peer Feedback is better than students using Self Revising with tobserved 4.338 and ttable 1.991. Mean from Peer Feedback score 70.95 is bigger than Mean of Self
Revising 60.30. Therefore, the research using the Peer Feedback is better than that of Self Revising technique toward STKIP Garut student Expository paragraph. For that reason, this technique is suggested to the writing lecturers in order to increase
students’ ability in making Expository paragraph.
