Due to that matter, this research proposed two kinds of proper techniques to improve students’ writing, namely Teacher’s Direct Feedback and Teacher’s Indirect Feedback techniques. This research had two objectives:to find out whether there was a significant difference between descriptive writing achievement of the students in teacher’s direct feedback class and in teacher’s indirect feedback classand to find outwhich aspect of writing that improved the most after the implementation ofthose feedback techniques in terms of micro skills. This research was conducted at SMAN 1 Trimurjo, Central Lampung, at the first semester of 2018/2019 academic year. Two classes were used in this research because this research attempted to compare the two techniques. The researcher used quantitative approach. The writing tests were administered to the students both before the treatments and after the treatments of each technique.
