Abstract

This study aimed to explore the role of models and reformulations as feedback to English writing in L2 learners' noticing and their writing. 92 participants were placed into three groups; a models group (MG), a reformulations group (RG), a control group (CG), involved in a three-stage writing task. In stage 1, they were asked to perform a 1st draft of writing, while taking notes on the problems they experienced. In stage 2, the MG was asked to compare their writing with a model text and the RG with a reformulated version of it. They were instructed to write down whatever they noticed in their comparison. The CG was asked to just read their writing. In stage 3, all the participants attempted subsequent revisions. The results indicated that all the participants noticed problematic linguistic features the most in a lexical category, and models and reformulations led to higher rate of noticing the problematic linguistic features reported in stage 1 and contributed to subsequent revisions. It was also revealed that the MG and RG significantly improved with their writings of MG and RG on the post-writing test. The findings imply that models and reformulations result in better performance in L2 writing and should be promoted in an English writing class.

본 연구의 목적은 피드백으로서의 모델글과 재구성글이 제2 언어학습자의 주목과 영어 글쓰기에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 연구참여자는 92명의 대학생으로 모델글을 비교하는 집단, 재구성글을 비교하는 집단과 통제 집단으로 나누어 3단계로 구성된 글쓰기 활동을 하였다. 1단계에서는 모든 집단이 1차 작문하면서 어려움에 관해 기록하였고, 2단계에서는 모델글 집단은 피드백으로서 제공된 모델글과 자신의 글을 비교하였고, 재구성글 집단은 재구성글과 자신의 글과 비교하였다. 이들 실험집단은 피드백으로서 제공된 글을 비교하면서 자신들이 주목한 요소를 필기하였다. 그리고 통제집단은 이 단계에서는 자신의 글을 읽기만 하였다. 3단계에서는 모든 집단이 1차 작문을 수정하였다. 본 연구 결과는 1차 작문 시 어려움 중 어휘표현을 가장 많이 보고하였으며, 모델글과 재구성글을 비교하는 과정에서 1차 작문 시 보고한 어려움보다 더 많은 요소를 주목하였고, 이를 수정 작문에 반영하였다. 그리고 피드백으로 제공된 모델글과 재구성글은 학습자의 글쓰기 향상에 도움이 되었던 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 모델글과 재구성글이 더 좋은 글을 쓰는데 기여하도록 영어 작문 수업에 활용할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
