Abstract
This study was aimed at (1) finding out the problems faced by students in narrative texts writing, (2) describing the implementation of peer feedback strategy in narrative texts writing, (3) knowing whether peer feedback strategy can motivate students to write narrative texts, (4) knowing whether peer feedback strategy can improve students’ narrative texts. The subject of this study was the eleventh grade students of XI IPA 2 of SMU Futuhiyyah Demak. The research design of this study was collaborative action research. The instruments of this study were observation, interview, questionnaire, and writing test. This study consisted of three cycles and each cycle consisted of three meetings. The findings showed that the students had low motivation before the actions were implemented. From the result of the first cycle, the students’ motivation increased. They could work in pair and participate during the writing class. Some students still had low motivation in the aspect of personal goal-setting, learner-centered, creativity, and self-diagnosis. From the second cycle, the implementation of peer feedbacks strategy could generate students’ motivation in the aspect of cooperative learning and peer evaluation. The students were not confused with the activities in peer feedback strategy. They knew what they should do in peer feedback strategy.
