Recent movements in writing education using Korean as a foreign language are intended to be more learner-oriented than in the past. In reality, however, writing education still remains as result-oriented as it has always been. If advancement and improvement are to be made, Korean writing education should be focused on a personal cognitive process. In addition, writing education theory in terms of social constructivism should be more widely accepted, which would better align the emphasis on social interaction with that of current trends in Korean education. Basically, it is suggested that Korean learners could improve their writing skills more easily through cooperative activities. This would also allow various opportunities to share communication using other language skills such as speaking and listening. As a result, students would improve overall communications skills while they effectively increase their Korean writing ability.
By adding problem-solving features to writing education through the collaborative writing process, both cognitive constructivism (which emphasizes a personal cognitive process) and social constructivism (which emphasizes social interaction like feedback from the group members) are introduced to the students. Such a system was devised for this study and it was directly applied to the model for Korean writing education. The goal was to identify any measurable writing skill improvement between the test group and the control group.
The study was conducted using 24 students at Kongju National University. The 12 students in the test group received writing education according to Korean writing model, two hours a week for 13 weeks. The test group submitted an essay completed using collaborative writing and received feedback from the teacher. Those in the control group received only one hour of instruction a week, completed their assignments individually, submitted them, and received feedback from the teacher.
Both groups of students took a 50-minute pre-test and a 50-minute post-test to measure their writing skills. The results found similarities in Korean writing skills between the test group and the control group in the preliminary test. But according to the post test (PASW t-test), the test group showed more improvement than the control group, with 3.91 points on average in contents, 3.84 points in structure, 2.83 points in accuracy, and 2.04 points in fluency. Furthermore, the test group showed meaningful differences in content, structure and accuracy.
There were also positive results found during a reaction test conducted after the conclusion of the course. The findings supported the theory that problem-solving writing education and collaborative writing foster improvement in accuracy, content, structure, and fluency. Accordingly, it is believed that similar problem-solving writing education through collaborative writing would be a good model for future Korean writing education.
It is encouraging to see such a problem-solving feature being applied to an actual Korean writing education course. However, any enthusiasm is restrained in light of the limited time (13 weeks) and size (24 students) of the study. It is suggested that a more in-depth study should therefore be conducted on a greater number of students that would hopefully include representation from beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
