  • Pros and cons in using symbol feedback in writing class have been discussed for years. The pro sides argued that using symbol feedback could motivate the students to be independent learners and improved their skills in writing. However, the cons side revealed that symbol feedback only focused on surface errors and it didn‟t give significant effect to the students‟ abilities in writing. Inspired by the pros and cons, this study has attempted to investigate the students‟ attitudes toward the use of symbol feedback in writing class. This paper is based on the interview of the students of Guided Writing in English Department of Satya Wacana Christian University, Salatiga. It aims at showing the students attitudes toward the use of symbol feedback based on their opinions and experiences. The finding suggested that the use of symbol feedback in writing class influences the students‟ attitudes toward their writing including cognitive, affective, and behavior aspects, which are recognized as components of attitudes.
