Abstract
This research was conducted to find out to what extent peer or teacher feedback affects students' writing in term of four writing aspects in one of secondary schools in Indonesia. The result shows that the scores for teacher feedback class and peer feedback is not significant different on students' hortatory exposition writing. However, by calculating the gain score of each four writing aspects assessed (content, organization, language use, and mechanic), it was found that teacher and peer feedback have their own portion affecting the students' writing achievement. The teacher feedback contributes higher score to the language use aspect, while peer feedback to mechanic aspect. Yet, both feedback also contribute positively on content and organization aspects.
