    Grammatical accuracy plays a crucial role in second language writing. It is obvious that second language learners are aware of its importance to the mastery of the writing skill itself. However, achieving grammatical accuracy can be a real difficult task for the majority of students since it acquires a complete knowledge of grammar rules as well as a high level of proficiency to apply those rules effectively during writing task. Therefore, basing on the need of being grammatically accurate as a condition to master the second language writing, learners may lose interest in improving this writing aspect. However, this task can be facilitated by teachers of writing through the use of the written corrective feedback strategy. Interestingly, the aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of written corrective feedback in enhancing learners' grammatical accuracy in second language writing. In this study, a descriptive method was applied in which two questionnaires have been used. The first one was given to third- year LMD students of english at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university, Oum-El-Bouaghi. The second questionnaire was given to teachers of "written expression" at the same university. Furthermore, basing on the data gained from both questionnaires, the results show the effectiveness of written corrective feedback in improving the learners' grammatical accuracy in l2 writing. Therefore, this positive result offers a reliable support to teachers of writing to adopt this strategy in teaching writing skill.
