• The purpose of this study is to investigate the most decisive factor among those that are presumed to exert significant influence on the improvement of student writing: teacher feedback, rewriting, or a combination of both. Three experimental groups with one control group (each consisting of approx. 40 students) were set up for this semester-long study: Group I produced rewrites based on teacher feedback; Group 2 was not required to produce rewrites after receiving teacher feedback; Group 3 produced rewrites without teacher feedback; and Group 4, the control group. The students in Group I achieved the greatest improvement in both writing quality (measured by holistic score) and fluency (measured by word count). Both the students in Group 2 (feedback-only) and Group 3 (rewrite-only) also showed significant improvement both in terms of holistic score and word count, though not as remarkable as the first group. while the students in the control group made no significant improvement in either respect. The study showed that making students rewrite in response to teacher feedback is the most effective way to improve student writing, but either providing feedback without rewriting activity or making students rewrite without feedback can induce considerable improvement, and thus can be a secondary alternative.
