The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of two different SNS-based tasks on university students' English writing performance. To address our primary research question, Me2day, microblogging and Social Networking Service, was employed. 43 university students were divided into two experimental groups depending on the task types: a comparison task group and a sharing personal experiences task group. The main findings of the study were as follows: first, two different types of SNS-based tasks, 'spot the differences' and 'writing diaries', had a positive effect on learners' writing performance. The reason for this was that the succinct messages limited to 150 characters made it easier for the students to try writing in English without burden; and they may benefit from their peers by seeing their posts and interacting with each other. Yet there were no significant differences between the two groups when it came to the degree of improvement. Second, two different types of SNS-based tasks differently fostered certain aspects of the writing performance; 'contents knowledge' was supported by the 'writing diaries' task and range was supported by the 'spot the differences' task. Third, learners in the two experimental groups mostly had positive impressions regarding usage of Me2day as a new learning tool.

The present study used multi-faceted Rasch measurement to explore the characteristics and bias patterns of non-native raters when they scored L2 writing tasks. Three raters scored 254 writing tasks written by Korean university students on two topics adapted from the TOEFL Test of Written English (TWE). The written products were assessed using a five-category rating scale (Content, Organization, Language in Use, Grammar, and Mechanics). The raters only showed a difference in severity with regard to rating categories but not in task types. Overall, the raters scored Grammar most harshly and Organization most leniently. The results also indicated several bias patterns of ratings with regard to the rating categories and task types. In rater-task bias interactions, each rater showed recurring bias patterns in their rating between two writing tasks. Analysis of rater-category bias interaction showed that the three raters revealed biased patterns across all the rating categories though they were relatively consistent in their rating. The study has implications for the importance of rater training and task selection in L2 writing assessment.

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 aims to analyze the types of writing tasks in Korean language and literature majors. There are many foreign students in the department of Korean language and literature. It is important to identify the type of task that is the subject of communication when conducting communication activities in an academic context. In particular, writing tasks are among the most important tasks that learners must perform. This is because most of the tasks assigned within the university curriculum are assigned to writing tasks, and evaluation is often done through learner writing. Therefore, this study investigated the types of tasks to be imposed on Korean Language and Literature majors. As a result, summary is the most frequent type of task in the department of Korean language. And in the department of Korean literature, review is most frequent type of task. The results of this study will help to prepare contents for foreign undergraduates of Korean language and literature majors.

다른 교과와 마찬가지로 물리교육에서도 언어는 기본이 되는 학습 도구이다. 쓰기 활동은 무엇보다 참여한 학생 모두에게 자신의 언어로 생각을 표현할 기회를 동등하게 부여한다는 장점이 있다. 대부분의 과학 수업에서 쓰기 활동이 보고서와 같은 획일적인 양식인데 비해, 학생들은 다양한 양식의 쓰기 형태를 보인다. 그러나 국내에서 학생들에게 제시할 수 있는 적절한 과학 쓰기 과제나 특징에 대한 연구는 많지 않은 실정이다. 먼저 본 연구는 본질적으로 추상적이어서 이해하기 어려운 물리 개념인 빛을 주제로 학생들이 다양한 양식의 글쓰기를 수행하도록 과제를 설계하였다. 이어 이를 학생들에게 제시한 뒤 학생들의 쓰기 자료로부터 드러나는 특성을 개념적 측면과 정서적 측면에서 분석하고, 각각의 쓰기 과제 유형이 주는 물리교육적 유용성을 탐색하였다. 쓰기 과제는 <존재이입형>, <인식전환형>, <경험근거형>, <지식근거형>의 4가지 유형을 선정하여 이를 수행한 학생들의 글쓰기를 분석 대상으로 삼았다. 개념적 측면의 분석 결과, 학생의 개념이 과제 유형별로 상이한 특성 보였으며, 정서적 표현은 상상적 형태의 쓰기 유형인 <존재이입형>과 <인식전환형>유형에 나타났다. 이러한 점들을 고려할 때, 물리교육에서 과학 쓰기는 수업의 목표에 따라 다양한 과제유형이 구안되고 적절하게 제시되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the types of mother's language and literacy information as they collaborated to write a letter during a 10-minute session. Subjects of the study consisted of 60 mothers and their children 10 boys and 10 girls each at the age of 3,4 and 5 The mothers' teaching language was analyzed on the basis of hoffman(1987)'s study and the types of information thant mothers and children exchanged during writing letters was analyzed by Burns and Casbergue (1992)'s categories. Frequency percentages and χ2 tests were used to analyze the data. The resuls of this study were as follows. 1. The types of the mothers' teaching language from the most to the least were mother-initiated statements mother-initiated questions and mother's responses to child's efforts. There were significant differences according to children's age in mothers' language. In the mother-initiated questions request questions were used most frequently and followed by interrogation questions and invitation questions next. The statements initiated by mothers were directive comments informative comments supportive comments insistence comments and invitation comments in order. Mothers' responses to child's efforts were corrects/controls additional cues confirmation promotion and praise in order. In all three types of the teaching language significant promotion and praise in order. In all three types of the teaching language significant differences were found according to children's age. 2. The types of information about writing were spelling content off task/preparation mechanical conventions and conceptual meaning of writing in order. Significant differences were found according to children's age. In the age group of 4-and 5-year-olds the mothers exchanged more information about spelling than the mothers of 3-years-olds who frequently used information about content and off task or preparation of writing the letter.

본 연구는 일반 목적의 한국어교육에서 쓰기 능력을 배양하기 위해 제시되는 쓰기 과제가 학습자들이 성공적으로 수행할 수 있도록 구성되어 있는지를 통합형 한국어교재를 분석함으로써 논의하고자 하였다. 우선, 선행 연구에서 언급한 쓰기 과제의 개념 및 구성요소를 바탕으로 쓰기 과제의 구성요소를 정립하고 이 설정한 쓰기 과제의 구성요소를 가지고 연구 대상인 통합형 한국어교재를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 쓰기과제의 유형에서 '자유 작문'과 '모방해서 쓰기'가 가장 높은 분포를 보였고 교재에서 공통적으로 다루는 주제는 21개 정도였다. 지시 내용의 대다수가 한 두 문장의 지시문으로 지시사항을 진술하는데 대부분이 주제 및 장르만을 제공하고 있으며 글의 목적, 형식, 분량, 시간 등은 제시되어 있지 않았다. 읽기 텍스트의 유형은 정보 전달의 목적을 가지는 설명문의 텍스트가 가장 많았고 평가 준거와 기타 요소에서 채점 기준과 시간은 전혀 제시되지 않고 있었다. 고급수준의 쓰기 과제에서는 글의 분량, 형식 등이 그나마 제시되는 편이나 초급과 중급에서는 이것조차 거의 나타나지 않았다. 이처럼 통합형 한국어교재에는 쓰기 과제의 구성요소가 고루 갖추어지지 않은 채 학습자들에게 제시되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper investigates how two different modes of feedback (selective vs. comprehensive) affect selected students' writing development in terms of three different types of measurement (accuracy, fluency, and complexity). 139 university students participated in the study, and 278 writing samples were analyzed. The results of the study indicate that participants who received selective feedback wrote more accurately and fluently than their counterparts. However, in terms of complexity, both selective and comprehensive groups showed no sign of improvement in semester-based investigations. The results of this study support Skehan's (2009) theory of trade-off effects, suggesting that 'natural' tension exists between accuracy and complexity when resources are limited. Moreover, this finding contrasts with the theory of Cognition Hypothesis, which proposes that task complexity will be associated with increases in complexity and accuracy. In the study, selected participants (N=21) strongly nominated their error sources as unfamiliarity toward using key words, usage, transition, and sentence types. This study not only contributes to the accumulation of our current knowledge in the related area of theory, but offers educational implications for those who are dealing with intermediate-level students when deciding what particular teaching content should constitute a priority within a limited instructional period.

The study aims to develop balanced performance assessment tasks for primary school mathematics which can be implemented in the primary school easily. In order to these purposes, I suggest the types of performance assessment tasks and the framework of assessment standards for the balanced performance assessment with describing the procedures of developing tasks and rubrics. The types of task are journal writing, problem posing, constructed task, and descriptive task. In the framework of assessment standards, I suggest holistic scoring which are classified as four levels according to the degree of excellence which students perform totally concerning about the criterion of implication, reasoning, accuracy, and communication. Also I analyse the responses of children to the task “make a beautiful pattern” and suggest its assessment rubric and anchor papers for each level for illustrating the process of developing a rubric in holistic scoring. In order to reflect the viewpoints of children and their Parents concerning about the tasks, the responses in self assessment and parent assessment are analysed. Finally, methods of implementing the assessment tasks and considerations are discussed.
