This research aims to investigate the teacher's written corrective feedback toward the students’ translation improvement. It is focused on the student's translation on lexical and grammatical mistakes in translating the source text into the target text. Translation is an activity that aims to facilitate the communication process by interpreting the information received in one language into another language.
