AB - This study examined the two aspects of Korean university students' English writing by proficiency. One is the relationship between the students' degrees of preference for L1 and L2 writing and their L2 writing proficiency; the other one is the different L1 use strategies including written and mental translation. Data were collected through questionnaires from 72 subjects and subsequent interviews were administered. The results revealed that the degree of the students' preference for L1 writing has a strong correlation with their preference for L2 writing. Furthermore, the correlation between the preference for L1 writing and their L2 writing proficiency was very high. In the mean time, the students' L1 was found to play an important role during their L2 writing process, and the ways of employing translation strategies varied by proficiency.
