ABSTRACT

This article explores the relationship between learner 's understanding of pre-writing activities and writing ability in college writing education. Pre󰠏writing activities are all activities that take place prior to the completion of writing in the form of topics, such as finding topics, searching for materials, and writing abstracts. Based on the constructivist learning theory, the process 󰠏 oriented approach of writing education is becoming common. Approaching the writing education centered on the process means emphasizing the importance of the process itself rather than the result of writing. Based on this awareness, this article examined the perceptions of learners' pre󰠏writing activities and then correlated them with their writing output to explore the relationship between the two. Particularly, in the end of the semester, the students were asked to describe the pre 󰠏 writing activities in detail and analyzed their responses to the questionnaire. The results obtained from the above study are as follows. First, cognitive level of writing ability and writing process showed more clear correlation with the lower 󰠏 level students. Second, the correlation between problem solving ability and writing ability during class is highly correlated overall, without distinction between top and bottom. Third, students generally showed a clearer correlation with the pre-writing activities in the argumentative writing than in the reflective writing. This tendency was more pronounced among students with higher scores. These results show that teaching and learning about the writing process is useful for students with low writing skills and high students, but designing a variety of teaching methods that can help problem󰠏solving skills is more helpful to middle󰠏level students. It was found to be useful for improving the ability.
