            Providing written corrective feedback on student’s writing is one of the ways to guide students in improving the quality of their writing. In providing written corrective feedback to student’s writing, the lecturer should select the types of written corrective feedback wisely which appropriate to the student’s needs. To know the students’ needs, the lecturer may consider the student’s preferences towards the written corrective feedback. In this research, the objective was to find out and describe the students’ preferences towards written corrective feedback given by the lecturer to their writing in writing class at English Language Education Program of Lambung Mangkurat University academic year 2019/2020.

            The research used a qualitative approach and a descriptive method. The subjects of the research were 25 fourth semester students of the Advanced Writing Class.  In collecting the data, the researcher used questionnaires and interviews as the instruments.  Then, the datawere analyzed and calculated.

            The result of this research showed that the students’ most preferred type of written corrective feedback is direct corrective feedback, and the most preferred type of error that should be corrected by the students is grammatical error. On top of that, most of the students preferred that the lecturer should mark all the errors and the written corrective feedback should be given after the class in private. Additionally, most of the students feel motivated after receiving written corrective feedback. By giving written corrective feedback based on their preferences, it can help them in improving their writing skill.
