  • The present paper explores rationales for the process-oriented approach to teaching writing and their implications for EFL writing classes. The product-oriented traditional approach to writing has put too much emphasis on linguistic aspects of writing. It fails to see the enormous complexity of the act of composing. In the process-oriented paradigm, writing is regarded as a messy process leading to clarity and the writer discovers meaning instead of merely' finding an appropriate structure in which to package ideas already developed from the beginning. Based on the underlying assumptions, some suggestions are made for EFL writing classes. Firstly, practitioners should be aware that writing is a recursive activity in which the writer moves backward and forwards between drafting and revising, with stages of re-planning in between. Secondly, writing teachers should help the student writers build an awareness of themselves as a writer and encourage their sense of confidence in writing. Lastly, students should be encouraged to pay their attention to content revision at first, and delay editing changes until the last draft.

  • This study has two purposes. First, it aims to suggest an appropriate approach to English writing education for Korean high school students in a cooperative learning situation. It also aims to suggest what type of learner grouping, either homogeneous or heterogeneous, is appropriate by comparing the learners' writing abilities and the changes of their affective factors after being exposed to cooperative EFL writing instruction. Two homogeneous classes were selected and instructed to write in English for 11 weeks. One was composed of homogeneous small groups based on the students' writing scores, and the other was composed of heterogeneous small groups, again based on the students' writing scores. The results showed that the improvement between the two class types was quite different across different proficiency levels. For example, although there is little difference between the homogeneous and the heterogeneous classes of low and intermediate-level learners in writing ability improvement, high-level students showed a significant difference between the classes. In addition, it was found that class participation correlated significantly to writing ability improvement. Cooperative learning was proved to be an effective writing instructional approach to encourage learners' interest and increase their self-confidence; however, the results did not show any significant differences in learners' affective domain between the homogeneous and the heterogeneous classes. Similarly, the learners' grouping preference was not affected by the grouping method.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a science writing teaching strategy, and to apply it to the fourth-graders in elementary science classes. We examined its effect on their motivation, attitude, and understanding of science concept. For the research fourth grade children were grouped into three classes: an experimental class A of 27 children, an experimental class B of 24 and a comparative class of 27. All of them are from H elementary school in Seoul, Korea. Experimental class A learned science writing with a newly developed strategy while experimental class B learned science writing in a traditional method. Comparative class did not learn science writing. As a result, class A showed positive changes on students' science motivation, attitude, and understanding of science concept. In addition, class B with even one science writing task for a chapter had higher achievement in the understanding of science concept than the comparative class had.

  • Air-writing recognition is relevant in areas such as natural human-computer interaction, augmented reality, and virtual reality. A trajectory is the most natural way to represent air writing. We analyze the recognition accuracy of words written in air considering five features, namely, writing direction, curvature, trajectory, orthocenter, and ellipsoid, as well as different parameters of a hidden Markov model classifier. Experiments were performed on two representative datasets, whose sample trajectories were collected using a Leap Motion Controller from a fingertip performing air writing. Dataset D1 contains 840 English words from 21 classes, and dataset D2 contains 1600 English words from 40 classes. A genetic algorithm was combined with a hidden Markov model classifier to obtain the best subset of features. Combination ftrajectory, orthocenter, writing direction, curvatureg provided the best feature set, achieving recognition accuracies on datasets D1 and D2 of 98.81% and 83.58%, respectively.

  • The 2015 revised national science curriculum encourages students to cultivate the science core competencies such as scientific thinking, science process skills, scientific problem-solving ability, scientific communication skill, scientific participation and lifelong learning ability. To fill this purpose, we practiced science writing classes based on core competencies and examined the effect of its application. The target unit was 'weather and our life', 'acid and base', 'speed of an object', and 'structure and function of our body' in the fifth grade of elementary school. The results were as follows. First, it was proven that science writing activities based on core competencies did not help improving science process skills of learners. Second, it had a significant effect on the improvement of the learner's self-directed learning ability, in particular, owner spirit, meta cognition and information search. Third, this strategy for science writing changed learners' scientific attitude positively. The above-mentioned results show that this science writing classes can be applicable as one of effective methods in cultivating science core competencies.

  • 이 연구는 G대학교의 글쓰기 수업인 <교양글쓰기> 교과목을 중심으로 온라인 수업 사례를 선보이고 학생들의 만족도를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 온라인 교육의 가능성을 분석하며 온라인 글쓰기 강의에 대한 효율적 운영 방안을 모색하는 데 목적을 두었다. G대학에서 운영한 온라인 글쓰기 수업 사례를 살펴 본 결과 온라인 글쓰기 수업에 대한 학생들의 만족도는 높게 나타났다. 제한된 상황 속에서도 수업의 참여도도 높았으며 온라인 첨삭 활동도 적극적으로 참여하였다. 반면에 과제도 발견할 수 있었다. 온라인으로 이루어지는 글쓰기 교육은 학생들과의 원활한 소통이라는 관점에서는 한계를 갖고 있다. 글쓰기의 첨삭 지도는 온라인으로 충분히 가능하지만 쌍방향 교육의 완성도를 높이기 위해서는 소통의 한계를 보완해야 하는 것이 과제이다. 또한 온라인 첨삭 지도에 참여한 학생들이 대부분이었지만 참여하지 않은 학생들도 나타났다. 온라인 수업의 정착을 위해서는 학생들의 자발적 참여를 유도하는 것도 필요한 과제이다. 결국 온라인 글쓰기 수업의 효과적 운영을 위해서는 다양한 교육용 영상매체를 활용하며 글쓰기의 이론과 실제의 충분한 학습과 교수자와 학생간의 원활한 소통을 위한 교수·학습 전략과 시스템이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 조건이 갖추어져야만 온라인 글쓰기 수업도 흔들림 없이 운영될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 본 연구는 오늘날 대학의 복합양식적 글쓰기 교양 교육의 필요성과 가능성을 조명한 문헌연구 성격의 탐색적 연구이다. 연구 목적은 음악과 글쓰기를 결합시켜 교육에 활용한 기존 연구들을 분석하여 그 교육적 함축을 찾아보고 Meyrowitz의 미디어를 바라보는 세 관점에 따라 그 연구들의 개념과 결과들을 종합 정리하여 글쓰기 교육의 입장에서 음악과의 융합 형태적 가능성을 제시하는 것이다. 기존 연구들은 크게 네 범주로 나누어 볼 수 있었다. 첫째는 범교과적 글쓰기의 관점, 둘째는 치유적 효과의 관점, 셋째는 글쓰기를 위한 사고 자료적 관점, 마지막은 신문식성의 관점이다. 이 개념들을 Meyrowitz의 관점으로 정리해 볼 때, 먼저는 환경으로서 음악을 활용하는 것인데 글쓰기 교육의 배경 음악으로 활용하여 음악이 가진 감성, 회상, 치유적 효과를 간접적으로 활용하는 것이다. 두 번째는 글쓰기 도구로서 음악을 활용하는 것인데 현재 교육 현장에서 가장 보편적으로 활용되는 양식이다. 음악을 일종의 읽기자료로 활용하여 정의적, 인지적, 전략적 영역 모두에서 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 셋째는 음악과 서사의 융·복합적 글쓰기로 제시하였다. 음악이 독자적 언어 매체로서 서사 매체와 상호작용하면서 의미를 구성하는 방식으로 글쓰기를 시도한다. 이 세 가지 차원은 관점은 서로 다르지만 동시에 일어나는 교육 작용일 수 있으며 서로가 결합된 형태로 진행될 수도 있다. 본고는 이러한 수업을 위해서는 글쓰기 교수자에게 음악적 역량이나 음악과의 융합 글쓰기에 대한 전문적인 관심과 노력이 필요하며 팀티칭도 하나의 대안이 될 수 있음을 강조하였다.

  • This study investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of incorporating oral corrective feedback into the content-based business English writing class. Two types of oral corrective feedback, recasts and metalinguistic feedback, were integrated into business English writing classes to help low intermediate-proficiency Korean university students improve the ability to use the simple past, present progressive, and present perfect tenses correctly in their written production. Prior to the treatments, the subjects had basic grammatical knowledge of the target verb tenses, but they had only limited control over them in their written production. Three groups were formed: recast group that received corrective recasting, metalinguistic group that received metalinguistic clues, and control group that received no oral corrective feedback. The study demonstrated that it was feasible to incorporate recasts and metalinguistic feedback into content-based business English writing classes and that metalinguistic feedback had greater and more endurable effects than recasts on promoting the correct use of the target verb tenses in written production. It can be concluded that oral corrective feedback, metalinguistic feedback in particular, can be used in the business English writing classroom to help students gain greater control over already partially acquired forms and therefore improve their writing accuracy.

  • This study analyzed the learning effect, through a satisfaction survey and NVivo qualitative analysis, of fashion design classes using humanities self-reflection writing. The results are as follows. First, with regard to learning satisfaction, learners perceived the class as efficient and showed overall satisfaction. Second, learners' opinions were classified into self-reflection writing, design process, new experience of expression, and the understanding of class activities. Third, in self-reflection writing, learners discovered their tendencies and values while exploring their identity through deep thinking. Fourth, in the design process, learners set the design concept consistently through writing. Fifth, in the new experience of expression, learners recognized the idea produced through writing as the result of thought and considered it a new expression method for design. Sixth, in the understanding of class activities, learners were interested in the process and considered it an activity through which to build their own style in design expression. Design class activities using self-reflection writing drew a positive response and presented the possibility of educational use. The teaching method of this study is expected to be used as a humanistic method for expressions in various design fields.

  • With the development of AI, multimedia tools in education offer personalized learning environments, which foster individual competencies. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of smart education as perceived by learners through a case study of university writing classes utilizing multimedia learning tools, and to explore potential applications. To achieve this, a writing course incorporating various multimedia tools to promote interaction was designed and implemented over the course of one semester, targeting 42 university students. Through the semester, student reactions and survey results were analyzed to investigate the effects and satisfaction levels regarding the use of multimedia learning tools in writing instruction as perceived by students. The analysis revealed that multimedia-assisted writing classes effectively fostered learners' autonomy by focusing on individual needs, while also promoting interaction and encouraging spontaneous participation. Students reported recognizing the presence of diverse perspectives by comparing and communicating about each other's writing, leading to an expansion of their own thinking. In using ChatGPT, it was found that students attempted to refine their questions until they obtained the desired answers. They reported that this process deepened their understanding of the essence of the questions. These benefits led to results of high levels of students' active class engagement and satisfaction. This study contributes foundational and empirical data regarding the effectiveness and potential applications of learner-centered smart education as part of fourth industrial revolution integration research.
