In this paper, we deal with implementation issues of an unknown word classifier for middle-school level English writing test. We define the type of unknown words occurred in English text and discuss the detection process for unknown words. Also, we define the type of swear words occurred in students's English writings, and suggest how to handle this type of words. We implement an unknown word classifier with a swear detection module for developing an automatic English writing scoring system. By experiments with actual test data, we evaluate the accuracy of the unknown word classifier as well as the swear detection module.

Handwritten text recognition is one of the active research areas nowadays. The progress in this field differs in every language. For example, the progress in Arabic handwritten text recognition is still insignificant and needs more attentions and efforts. One of the most important fields in this is Arabic handwritten manuscript text recognition which focuses in extracting text from historical manuscripts. For eons, ancients used manuscripts to write everything. Nowadays, there are millions of manuscripts all around the world. There are two main challenges in dealing with these manuscripts. The first one is that they are at the risk of damage since they are written in primitive materials, the second challenge is due to the difference in writing styles, hence most people are unable to read these manuscripts easily. Therefore, we discuss in this study different papers that are related to this important research field.

This is an exploratory study based on the literature reviews which examined the possibilities and necessities of multimodal writing curriculum for liberal education. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing research results which utilized the teaching methods associating music and writing, and to find the educational implications, and finally in terms of writing education, to suggest the possibilities of writing classes' convergent forms with music extracted from the results of the existing studies. Those studies were categorized to four patterns: WAC, effects of therapy, materials for writing, and new literacy. Based on Meyrowitz's perspective, firstly music can be utilized as a circumstance, which means a teacher can indirectly take the emotional, reminding, and healing effects of background musics. Secondly, music can play an important role of materials in thinking and writing, which is the most generally utilized pattern today. The effects are found in all of affective, cognitive, and strategic domains by utilizing music as a sort of reading materials. Thirdly, the convergent writing of music and narrative is suggested. Music is an independent language that can interact with narrative and construct text meanings in this kind of writing classes. These three dimensions of convergence have different perspectives, but sometimes occur at a same time or as a connected pattern. This study proposes that writing teachers need to improve their competence in music as well and to have professional concerns and efforts to develop their convergent writing teaching skills with music for these classes. Finally, this study stresses that team teaching can be an alternative for them.

This was a single group pretest-protest pre-experimental study designed to find out whether writing using media enhances creative convergence capacity. Data were collected from 30 C university students in C city, from March 1st to July 15th, 2020. Analysis was done using IBM SPSS 25.0 for frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, and paired t-test. Creative problem solving ability was enhanced by an average of 0,63 points (p<.001), critical thinking tendency by 1.06 points (p<.001), self-leadership by 0,53 points (p<.001), and self-control by an average of 0.51 points, so was statistically significant (p=.001). Writing using media had the effect of improving creativity and integration capabilities. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the development of educational programs for creativity and integration enhancement at university-level. Also, follow-up studies on the effectiveness of writing education by utilizing web media as text and tools simultaneously and customized university-level writing education utilizing media are required.

Researches on the recognition of handwritten script have been conducted under the assumption that the isolated recognition units are provided as inputs. However, in practical recognition system designs, providing the isolated recognition unit is an challenge due to various writing syles. This paper proposes an approach for segmenting words from lines of unconstrained handwritten text, without help of recognition. In contrast to the conventional approaches which are based on physical gaps between connected components, clues that reflect the author's writing style, in terms of spacing, are extracted and utilized for the segmentation using a simple neural network. The clues are from character segments and include normalized heights and intervals of the segments. Effectiveness of the proposed approach compared with the conventional connected component based approaches in terms of word segmentation performance was evaluated by experiments.

This study examined the position and the characteristics of Korean writing textbooks in the rationales for writing education. Also, it explored the activities of writing knowledge formation based on the rationales in order to further propose some suggestions for the development of writing textbooks afterward. For this, it chose four Korean writing textbooks and presented the analyzed results through the processes consisting of material gathering, open coding, deep coding, expression and presentation as ones for the text qualitative analysis. First, it researched how the rationales such as formalism, cognitivism, and social constructivism were applied to and manifested in those textbooks. Furthermore, it examined how the language activities in the textbooks were shown from the four dimensions such as the knowledge of language structure, the process knowledge, the context knowledge, and the content knowledge; in particular, it focused on the content knowledge. It found out the results as follows. The rationales in structuring the chapters were not consistent with inner structures and contents. All the four writing knowledges were applied to each textbook; however, the emphasis and the proportion were different in each textbook. Also, it pointed out the textbook which contains diverse activities to be able to help the learners form the content knowledge and this sort of textbook is more effective from the perspective of social constructivism. Based on those results, it discussed several points which can be considered in the development and the selection of Korean writing textbooks later.

This study analyzes the trend of domestic research related to science writing education. The subjects of analysis were 152 research papers related to science writing education in Korea from 2004 to 2021. The analysis criteria were set as the research problem, research subject, research method and research application etc. Result of the analysis shows a steady increase until 2014, but decreased afterwards. In the result of the research problems, it was found that most studies were about finding out the effects of scientific writing activities. The research subjects were mostly elementary, middle, and high school students. Qualitative research occupied a large proportion in the results of the research method analysis, and there were many mixed studies that combined quantitative and qualitative research. As for the research application method, the most applied research in regular classes. As a result of analyzing the effect of application, most of the studies were on science concepts, attitudes towards science, thinking skills, and creative problem-solving skills. Writing education such as experimental and observational writing in science classes has been steadily conducted since before the introduction of the 2007 revised curriculum. In particular, the importance of scientific writing as a text-based education is being emphasized from the 2007 revised curriculum to the 2022 revised curriculum overview. Writing is an important learning strategy in science education for students to generate, share, explain, and expand their ideas. Therefore, examining domestic research trends related to science writing education can provide important basic data for setting the future direction of science writing education.
