AB - Writing is as important as other language skills for English learners since they need to communicate with native and non-native speakers of English in this international world by expressing their ideas accurately and appropriately in both oral and written English. What makes writing instruction more complicated is the fact that research has merely shown a significant relationship between reading and writing as it has in listening and speaking. It is clear that writing itself should be explicitly taught to English leaners in class. The purpose of this study is to see how two types of writing strategies; copying and summarizing; are useful in improving Korean college students' English writing skill. Eight students, divided into two groups for each writing activity, participated in this study. They chose one editorial from any English newspaper to either copy or summarize it everyday during one semester. Interestingly enough, copying practice was found to be effective for less proficient students; whereas, summarizing practice was found to be effective for more proficient students in writing. Suggestions are made for further research.
