A case study of self-reflection writing education through ‘Giving a word as a gift’ activities

Abstract

This paper is a case study of designing a self-introspective writing lecture model during university writing education and which was applied actual classes. As a way to do this, the method of ‘Giving a word as a gift’ and class cases were introduced. ‘Giving a word as a gift’ is an activity in which team members present words to each other. This can be said to be the process of finding one’s own color — that is to say, in addition to what I think of myself, I can think of my reflection in the eyes of others. After completing the activity up to the third stage, students will receive, as a gift, five words each. The process ends by writing an essay on the theme of “I” with the five words finally selected. This also presents an opportunity to communicate with others’ thoughts and the attachment of others. In the meantime, students have not been given enough time to seriously introspect or explore themselves. It is in the process of establish myself that I should be prioritized in the process of entering university and moving into society. In this regard, you need to know clearly what you are so that you can start with “me,” set me right, communicate with others, and communicate with the world.
