AB - The study examined how genre-based instruction had an influence on Korean students’ development of expository writing in English. The participants of the study were nine college students who took a composition course in the spring semester, 2011. They were taught how to write exposition based on the genre-based pedagogy. The participants’ writings and their responses were collected and analyzed after the treatment. The data of writings were analyzed in terms of the length, text structure, theme development and grammatical features including modality, voice, and connectives. The results of analyses revealed that the genre-based instruction significantly contributed to the Korean learners’ development of writing expositions in terms of the growth of the text length, text structure and development, and appropriate use of grammatical devices. It was revealed, in particular, that the genre-based instruction helped the learners of lower writing ability improve their expositions. The findings of participants’ writings and responses suggested that genre-based instruction could be an effective approach to help Korean learners of English to improve their writing abilities.
