AB - The field of teacher education has changed dramatically to prepare pre-service or inservice teachers to develop their language skills and instructional skills through teacher training programs. Yet, little attention to writing teacher education has been given. The purpose of the study is to investigate research focus and methodological orientation in the field of writing and writing teacher education by examining published research articles in two prestigious journals in Korea for the past five years. A total of 417research articles were collected and 50 writing-related studies were obtained. The data were categorized into overall methodology orientation and substantive orientation. The results of the study showed that (a) quantitative studies than qualitative ones were dominant, (b) more studies on learners’ language proficiency or performance in tertiary education settings were conducted, and (c) little studies on writing teacher education were found. This study suggests that various issues in the field of writing teacher education need to be discussed and more teacher training programs should be provided for assisting secondary English teachers to become better L2 writing instructors.
