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.

본 연구는 대학 재학생들의 상위인지 전략에 대한 파악과 이 인지 전략에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 특별한 요인들이 무엇인지 알아보기 위하여 시도되었다. 대학 영어 과목을 수강하는 27명의 대학생을 대상으로 한 편의 에세이를 쓰게 하고 그 후 설문 조사를 하였다. 설문에는 영어 작문 경험에 대한 피 실험자들의 태도를 알아보고, 그들이 에세이를 쓸 때 주로 이용하는 상위 인지 전략에 관한 문항을 포함하였다. 설문조사에 대한 통계분석결과에 의하면, 비숙련 학생들은 숙련된 학생들과 마찬가지로 영어 에세이 쓰기에 관한 지식과 전략들을 많이 알고 있었다. 그러나 비숙련 학생들은 상위인지 전략에 대한 지식은 풍부했으나 에세이 작성 시에 문장의 정확도 및 세련됨 같은 질적인 면이 부족했음이 드러났다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 비숙련 학생들의 상위인지 전략의 적절한 사용의 실패가 그들의 성공적인 영어에세이 작성의 장애가 됨을 통계적 수치를 통해 그 원인을 파악했으며, 이는 학생들의 불안, 자신감의 결여와 같은 정서적인 요인에 영향을 받았음을 입증했다.

This study examined patterns of engaging in "reading in connection to writing" (hereafter reading-writing practices) in the context of two ESL college composition classrooms. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the L2 proficiency level could be a key construct in explaining similarities and differences in reading-writing practices which students engaged in during the composing process. Multiple sources of data collected over the semester included interview protocols, written products, and observational notes. The results showed that the three proficiency groups under examination differed widely in the ways reading was connected to writing and in the types of intermediate texts produced during the composing process. The students in the high proficiency group produced more intermediate texts through an engagement in reading-writing practices connected to each other. On the contrary, the students in lower proficiency groups engaged in a limited range of reading-writing practices without support of intermediate texts. This study provides insight into the different ways ESL college students coordinate reading and writing while composing essays.

On the basis of studies that show multi-word combinations, that is the field of phraseology, this study aims to examine relationship between the quality of text and phraseological competence in L2 English writing, following Yves Bestegen et al. (2014). Using two different association scores, t-score and Mutual Information(MI), which are opposite ways of measuring phraseological competence, in terms of scoring frequency and infrequency, bigrams from L2 writers' text scored based on a reference corpus, GloWbE (Corpus of Global Web based English). On a cross-sectional approach, we propose that the quality of the essays and the mean MI score of the bigram extracted from YELC, Yonsei English Learner Corpus, correlated to each other. The negative scores of bigrams are also correlated with the quality of the essays in the way that these bigrams are absent from the reference corpus, that is mostly ungrammatical. It indicates that increase in the proportion of the negative scored bigrams debases the quality of essays. The conclusion shows the quality of the essays scored by MI and t-score on cross-sectional approach, and application to teaching method and assessment for second language writing proficiency.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the writing tasks included in the newly developed high school English textbooks in the aspects of genre, rhetorical structure, task type, and authenticity in order to find out whether these tasks could contribute to improving Korean EFL students' writing skills. A total of nine textbooks were selected for the study and every writing task in each textbook was analyzed. The results show that various types of genres were incorporated in the tasks, but very few opportunities were provided for students to acquire characteristics of specific genres. In terms of rhetorical structure of text, narration, illustration, and transaction were required most, whereas not a single writing task asked students to use classification or cause and effect. Many of the writing tasks analyzed offered linguistic and/or content support through the use of models, which displays traces of the product-based approach to teaching writing. Lastly, most of the tasks lacked authenticity represented by explicit discussion of purpose and audience. Implications for L2 writing task development and writing instruction in the Korean EFL context are discussed.

This study examines the effects of data-driven learning (DDL)-an approach employing corpora for inductive language pattern learning-on error identification in second language (L2) writing. The data consists of error identification instances from fifty-five participants, compared across different reference materials: the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), dictionaries, and no use of reference materials. There are three significant findings. First, the use of COCA effectively identified collocational and form-related errors due to inductive inference drawn from multiple example sentences. Secondly, dictionaries were beneficial for identifying lexical errors, where providing meaning information was helpful. Finally, the participants often employed a strategic approach, identifying many simple errors without reference materials. However, while maximizing error identification, this strategy also led to mislabeling correct expressions as errors. The author has concluded that the strategic selection of reference materials can significantly enhance the effectiveness of error identification in L2 writing. The use of a corpus offers advantages such as easy access to target phrases and frequency information-features especially useful given that most errors were collocational and form-related. The findings suggest that teachers should guide learners to effectively use appropriate reference materials to identify errors based on error types.

This study investigates learners' perception on their engagement in rating activities in the EFL essay-writing context. The current study aims to address the answers to the following research questions: 1) What attitude do students show about their participation in the rating tasks? and 2) which of three aspects (e.g. the degree of rating experience, the exposure to English composition instruction and learning, and proficiency level) significantly influences learners' rating activities? 104 EFL learners participated in the rater training session. After participants finished rater training session, they rated three sample essays and peer essays using the given scoring guide. Based on the analysis of survey responses that students made, students showed positive attitude toward their engagement in rating tasks. For research question 2, only L2 writing proficiency seriously affected students' perception on the rating tasks. Advanced level of subjects did not feel stressed by a grade of peers as low level of subjects did. They were also critical about the benefits of self- and peer-assessment, suggesting that a peer's feedback on their own essay was not so useful and that a self-rating does not fully help learners identify their writing proficiency.

This longitudinal study analyzed syntactic development (Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency; CAF) of six L2 Korean learners in a natural learning context. The learners recalled the stories of a short animated video through speaking and writing every 3 months, from month 0 to 15. The learners' responses were analyzed for a series of CAF measures and their cognitive, psychological, and social variables were investigated. The results showed that (i) L2 Korean learners' speaking and writing in various time periods showed significant differences in spoken and written accuracy, and complexity; (ii) the correlation between spoken and written complexity, spoken and written accuracy, as well as spoken and written fluency were significant, and (iii) the regression analysis showed that learners' cognitive, social, and psychological variables have significant effect on the L2 Korean syntactic development. The current study reports that L2 Korean learners engaged in self-learning in a natural learning environment without formal instruction made significant syntactic development.
