The study examines the features of collaborative feedback among students in their writing process in the blended learning environment and finds their experiences during this collaborative learning. This study used the qualitative method. Twenty texts of the students' writing were used as the primary data. Then, this research employed an interview and an observation. Through textual analysis and survey results, I first found a similar trend of texts the students primarily focused on in giving writing feedback. There are tenses, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization. These facts mean that the students are good enough to understand the correct and incorrect features used in writing at those features. Second, during the implementation of this collaborative learning, students have the opportunity to negotiate any feedback, give and respond to any available text, and practice decision-making skills. These findings imply that first, lecturers are supposed to acknowledge the students' language skill level to create better material for them. Second, the students can be categorized as self-regulated, other-regulated, and object-regulated. The number of self-regulated and other-regulated learners is dominant compared to object-regulated ones. Understanding the type of learners is vital to developing a better approach in teaching and learning in a large class, especially for developing countries like Indonesia. The research is limited to a large class size where English is a foreign language. Hence, the method of blended learning for writing in a large class size needs to adjust to any local context. However, the challenges come from the students themselves, the classroom management, or the infrastructure available for teaching and learning. This collaborative feedback is a pedagogical breakthrough for most developing countries with many students.

Upper-middle-income economies (UMIE) are experiencing an economic slowdown, partly due to weak regulatory performance. This issue leads to slow growth in private sector participation, thus limiting the ability to achieve higher economic growth. At this critical point, the government’s role is to inject funds into economies, hoping that growth can be increased and sustained for an extended period. Nevertheless, injecting more funds through borrowings from external debt exposes economies to vulnerable conditions. Thus, this study aimed to examine how regulatory performance affects economic growth and moderates the debt–growth relationship in UMIE. By using the generalized method of moments (GMM) as an estimation method for 32 countries from 2004 to 2020, regulatory performance was found to adversely affect economic growth. Moreover, as regulatory performance improves, public debt is expected to enhance the economic growth of UMIE. These findings are novel, as they provide significant evidence for the importance of improving the regulatory performance of UMIE. Weak regulatory performance might force a government to become the engine of growth instead of the private sector, thus leading to the adverse effect of debt on growth in UMIE. These findings have to several policy implications, particularly regarding reducing bureaucracy and improving regulatory performance in UMIE. Future researchers could extend this study by comparing the results from different groups of economies or countries.
