  • 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.

  • This paper examined the role of intermediate texts in the writing process in the context of an EFL composition class. From the tradition of teacher research, this study examined how the Korean college students in different proficiency groups created intermediate texts and used them while composing their own writing. The students produced various types of intermediate texts during the compositing process, which could serve as a basis of their writing. However, the patterns of using these intermediate texts differed widely across the proficiency groups. A writing cycle for the low proficiency group, or "surface reading-few intermediate texts-writing," indicates that less proficient students tended to engage in reading in separation of writing practices and thus produced few intermediate texts through their literacy practices. On the other hand, the students in the higher proficiency groups revealed the more integrated pattern (i.e., purpose reading/intermediate texts/writing), indicating that they often engaged in reading with specific writing purposes, practiced reading in connection to other writing practices, and elaborated written intermediate texts produced. This study argues that, to shift our student writers to a higher level category, we as teachers need to help them engage in reading and writing practices in the way they produce and use intermediate texts appropriate to their specific writing purposes.

  • 본 연구는 영어 편지 글에 나타난 자신의 표현, 수사 형태, 그리고 작문 활동을 중심으로 한국 대학생의 서면 텍스트의 특성을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 자료로는 학생들의 영어 취업지원서를 포함하였으며, 분석을 위해 '목적-의지' 모델을 채택하였다. 연구 결과, 학생들은 재설정된 상황에서 글 쓰는 이로서의 자신을 표현하기 위해 독특한 전략을 사용하였다. 취업 지원을 위한 편지 속 학생들의 표현 방법은 매우 다양하였고, 어느 누구도 날씨를 언급하는 한국식 편지 쓰기 방식을 채택하지 않았다. 수사 형태는 정형화된 형식에서 벗어나 다양성과 통합된 모습을 보여주었다. 작문 활동을 통해 학생들은 글 쓰는 이로서의 고유한 내적 가치를 보여주었으며, 이는 곧 학생들의 작문 결과가 교수자의 강의 내용과 동일한 모습으로 나타나지 않는다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 결과는 학습은 특정 담화 공동체 내에서의 상황 활동이라는 사회 문화 이론을 뒷받침한다. 그러므로 영작문 교수자는 학생들의 삶과 학습 경험이 텍스트 속 정체성과 작문 활동에 영향을 미친다는 사실을 인지하고 지도해야 한다.

  • 본 연구는 제 2 언어 학습자들의 읽기-쓰기 통합에 대한 인식 정도를 대학 영작문반 학습문맥에서 탐구하였다. 동일한 연구 참여자들을 반복적으로 측정하는 패널설문(N=60)을 이용하여, 학습자들의 읽기-쓰기에 대한 통합인식이 일련의 교실수업 활동을 통하여 어떻게 재형성되는 지를 조사하였다. 대학생들의 통합인식 정도를 나타내는 인식점수는 5점-척도 설문을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 그룹간 시간별 평균차는 "반복측정-이요인 ANOVA"를 수행하여 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 트리트먼트 효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 못한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 연구기간 동안 학생들의 통합인식에 대한 변화가 미미했음을 의미한다. 그러나 인식변화의 유형은 인식그룹에 따라 크게 다른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 통합학습에 대한 인식이 쓰기 과정 중 발생하는 학생들의 학습행태를 이해하는 데 큰 도움을 줄뿐만 아니라, 읽기-쓰기 통합수업에서 보다 통합 지향적인 교수법을 개발하는데도 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Within a framework of sociocultural approaches to writing process, this study examined six ESL graduate students' writing processes in depth based on individual interviews and their narratives of writing process. The narratives and interviews were analyzed to discover salient aspects of the students' writing processes and to understand the socially situated nature of the writing processes. First, it was observed that these six students displayed multiplicity in terms of their representations of writing process, episodes, textual practices, and concerns. Several factors including the writing task, students' familiarity with genre, literacy skills, attitude toward writing, and involvement in interaction contributed to individualized trajectories of writing process. It was also revealed that writing is unavoidably a socially situated practice. Students were situated in their cultural arenas as well as their disciplinary arenas, and these contexts helped the students serve as active agents producing and sharing knowledge. The confluence of personal, cognitive, and social factors observed in their writing processes suggests that writing process should be understood from multiple perspectives.

  • The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships between parents'attitudes toward emergent literacy and home literacy practices with toddlers and preschoolers. The researcher developed the instrument based on a literature review and on other researchers'(Fitzgerald, Spiegel, & Cunningham, 1991; DeBaryshe & Binder, 1994) questionnaires for parents of toddlers and preschoolers. The researcher did a pilot study to examine the appropriateness of the questionnaires with 68 parents. A total of 274 parents who sent their children to daycare centers participated in this study in central Pennsylvania. To analyze the data for this study, The researcher employed Frequency, Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson's correlations, Multiple Regression Analysis. Demographic characteristics and parents'attitudes toward emergent literacy which consisted with writing and reading attitudes of literacy were related to home literacy practices for toddlers and preschoolers.. Writing attitudes and verbal participation in reading were the most predicting variables in home literacy practices. The results of this study addressed the importance of the role of belief systems in literacy teaming between parents and children.

  • Given that various classroom contextual factors influence the nature of writing instructional practices, it would be worthwhile to explore these factors to generate better environment for learning to write. Among many factors, this study examined teachers' beliefs and knowledge, which would operate as a very influential contextual factor in that changes in principles and methods of teaching writing would be the results of their underlying beliefs and knowledge related to teaching writing. Three professional teachers who teach second- and third-grade English language learners (ELLs) were interviewed, and the analysis of teacher interviews was conducted. The research findings indicated that basically all of the teachers perceived the role of writing in second language learning as very important, sharing the belief that the ultimate goal of teaching writing is to have their students gain fluency in writing and that some of instructional methods such as integration of writing and other language aspects, content-based writing, and providing scaffolding are important. In addition, some beliefs that two ESL teachers shared included the importance of ample and continuous opportunities to write, vocabulary knowledge, and explicit instruction about writing. Other beliefs, including the importance of creating a comfortable writing environment and opportunities for writing for varied purposes and genres were represented.

  • Explicit reference to the work of other authors is an essential feature of most academic research writings. Corpus analysis of academic text can reveal much about what writers actually do and why they do so. Application of corpus tools in language education has been well documented by many scholars (Pedersen, 1995, Swales, 1990, Thompson, 2000). They demonstrate how computer technology can assist in the effective analysis of corpus based data. For teaching purposes, tills recent research provides insights in the areas of English for Academe Purposes (EAP). The need for such support is evident when students have to use appropriate citations in their writings. Using Swales' (1990) division of citation forms into integral and non-integral and Thompson and Tnbble's (2001) classification scheme, this paper codifies academic texts in a corpus. The texts are academic research articles from different disciplines. The results lead into a comparison of the citation practices m different disciplines. Finally, it is argued that the information obtained in this study is useful for EAP writing courses in EFL countries.

  • Two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) is treated as the next generation magnetic recording method, but because of its high channel bit error rate, it is difficult to use in practices. In this paper, we introduce a new writing method that can decrease the nonlinear media error effectively, and it can also achieve 10 Tb/$in^2$ of user bit density on a magnetic recording medium with 20 Teragrains/$in^2$.

  • 본 연구는 이공계열 대학원생들의 영어논문 작성 능력에 관한 실태를 조사하고 연구 윤리에 대한 인식을 조사하고자 수행되었다. 이공계열의 경우, 학위 논문을 비롯한 학술지 논문을 영어로 작성하는 것이 일반화된 환경에서 이공계열 대학원생들의 영어 논문 작성에 대한 경험과 준비 정도, 실태 및 연구 윤리와 표절에 대한 인식 정도를 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 이공계열 대학원생의 연구 윤리에 관한 인식이 매우 부족하여 이에 대한 교육이 시급히 강화되어야 함을 확인하였다. 특히 참고 문헌의 인용 범위에 관하여 정확히 모르고 있는 경우도 많아서 인용 범위와 방법에 대한 교육과 훈련이 요구된다. 본 연구 결과는 추후 이공계열 대학원생들의 영어논문 작성 능력을 향상시키기 위하여 학교에서 제공할 교육과정과 지원 방안을 모색하는데 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
