This study attempts to investigate the teacher's feedback in EFL young learners' classroom. This study aims to reveal the corrective feedback type used by the teacher toward the students' erroneous utterance and to find out the students' responses toward the teacher's feedback. This study usesa descriptive design. A novice teacher and sixth grade students in primary school are the subjects of the research. Classroom observation and students' interview is deployed in uncovering the data needed. The transcripts of the classroom observation are analyzed using feedback framework developed by Lyster & Ranta (1997). There are six feedback types as proposed by Lyster & Ranta (1997). They are explicit feedback, recast, clarification request, repetition of error, metalinguistic clue, and elicitation technique. The data show that teacher uses all six feedback types proposed by Lyster & Ranta (1997) and most of the students respond positively toward teacher's feedback by giving uptake. The data also indicates that the teacher's feedback as proposed by Lyster & Ranta (1997) has positive effects in the process of second language acquisition. It attracts the students to notice their mistake and trigger the students to produce more accurate target language. Penelitian ini mencoba menginvestiga feedback guru di kelas EFL untuk anak-anak.
