ABSTRACT

This study aims to assess the KAP learners’ ability to write descriptive test answers and suggest educational directions to improve them. KAP learners need to be educated in writing descriptive answers in order to study at university. To this end, this study analyzed the descriptive test answers written by KAP learners in terms of both format and content. The results of the analysis showed that KAP learners had difficulty in writing complete answers using appropriate connectives and discourse markers in terms of format. However, their ability to use language and expressions accurately was relatively high. In terms of content, KAP learners did not properly understand the test items and lacked the ability to organize answers according to the requirements of the test questions. Based on these results, three major directions for improving descriptive answer writing education were suggested. First, genre and result-centered education, second, content centered education, and third, test writing education linked to other Korean language classes.
