In this case, instructors (teachers) have responsibility to repair the errors in order to prevent them doing the same errors at another occasion and make them closer to acquiring the target language. This research study examines the learners' preferences of corrective feedback as well as to investigate the reasons of corrective feedback's choices made by learners toward their language learning. The researcher modifies the scenario-based questionnaire which was constructed based on Lyster and Ratna's (1997) typology of corrective feedback (CF) for the purpose of collecting data from learners' preferences of corrective feedback types. The participants participated in this study are 30 learners of university students selected through purposive sampling. The results of the study indicated that language learners preferred direct CF more than indirect CF with the percentage Recast 27%, Explicit Correction 23%, Clarification Request 13%, Metalinguistic 10%, and Repetition 7%. This study has implications for teachers, learners, and material developers to pay attention in providing appropriate technique which is well accepted by EFL learners.

As the fourth largest democracy and the fifth largest twitter user in the world, twitter in Indonesia is very influential as a place for people to fight each other's arguments. Public talk about the election of two candidates for President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2019–2024 on Twitter, became an interesting topic for Twitter users with a variety of public sentiment both positive and negative. Therefore, there is a need for a method that helps to see public opinion effectively. The researchers used tweets in Indonesian as research data with keywords #jokowi2periode and #2019tetapjokowi, and #2019prabowosandi and #2019gantipresiden with a total of 4000 tweets. This study uses a classification technique, namely SVM Algorithm. This method is chosen based on many of the best classification techniques commonly used for the analysis of opinion sentiments. It is because of SVM has weaknesses for selecting the appropriate parameters or features. In this study, researchers made improvements to previous research using a feature selection comparison method, PSO & GA. The results of this study are in the form of a prediction of the pairs of candidates for the President and the Vice President of Indonesia for the period of 2019–2024 who have more positive sentiments. Based on public opinion on Twitter, the pair Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno is predicted to be elected as President and Vice President of Indonesia for the period of 2019–2024 with the most positive sentiment, reaching 830 out of 1000 tweets entered. And the SVM method of the combination of PSO is the best method with accuracy reaching 86.20% and the AUC value reaching 0.934.

No guarantee that an opinion automatically will be true because it is not reinforced by the facts, it is subjective, and there is a different opinion about an event. Everyone has different views and same rights to express opinions or give opinions toward particular event. Public opinion is view of someone for certain problem comes out due to prior conversation with another person who may have an effect on the opinion given. Public opinion comes from a discussion process in addressing the problem then lead to a conclusion as a joint decision and a shared opinion. One of the media to convey public opinion is through social media like twitter. Public opinion about the election of West Java governor candidate period 2018-2023 on twitter was increasingly widespread. There are several sentiments emerged for four candidates elected on twitter accounts such as Ridwan Kamil-Uu Ruzhanul Ulum, Tubagus Hasanuddin-Anton Charliyan, Sudrajat-Ahmad Syaikhu, and Deddy Mizwar-Dedi Mulyadi. Therefore, it is necessary to classify the sentiments to the existing opinion so that it can be predicted in advance which of the governor candidate pair of West Java who has more positive and predictable sentiments will be elected as governor period 2018-2023. The data used by the researchers is tweet in Indonesian Language with keywords Rindu, Hasanah, Asyik, 2DM with datasets number is 800 tweets. There are many classification techniques commonly used for opinion sentiment analysis. This study compares two classification techniques namely Support Vector Machine Algorithm (SVM) and Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC). The results show that the Algorithm of Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC) has a higher accuracy level of Support Vector Machine (SVM), up to 94% for Deddy Mizwar-Dedi Mulyadi.
