Feedback is a technique used in the teaching and learning environment to improve the  acquisition of knowledge and skills, including writing mastery. This study investigates  the impact of incorporating peer and teacher feedback techniques through Twitter on developing writing skills in French as a Foreign Language (FFL) class. The study  employed a quantitative experimental approach that adopted a One Group Pre-Test and  Post-Test design. A sample of 30 students enrolled in the fourth semester of the French  Language Education Study Program at a university in Bandung, Indonesia, participated  in the study. This study used two research instruments to gather the data: a writing  assessment consisting of a pre-test and post-test and a questionnaire to measure students'  perceptions of the studies' treatment. The data test was analyzed using the CEFR A2-level  assessment instrument from Tagliante (2005) and then processed statistically using SPSS  26 software. While questionnaire data were analyzed using a Likert scale with five  intervals. The statistical analysis results demonstrated a substantial impact, indicating  increased scores from the pre-test to the post-test. The observable augmentation in the  caliber and efficacy of student writing across all evaluation domains supports this  assertion. In conclusion, the implementation of peer and teacher feedback using Twitter  in French as a Foreign Language (FFL) writing class significantly enhances students'  writing proficiency. Furthermore, it allows students to demonstrate a favorable  acceptance and perception of this implementation to improve their French writing skills.
