First, the number of letters and sentences in writing stagnated or decreased slightly, but the number of T-units increased, suggesting improved sentence maturity. Second, latent growth modeling confirmed a linear model for both explanatory and narrative writing. Third, factor analysis found that the quality of writing accounted for the highest proportion (weight) of writing skills. This study found that upper elementary school is an important period for qualitative changes in “discourse-level proficiency writing” based on the transcriptional skills and writing fluency acquired in lower grades. Practical guidance is thus needed to improve the skills of 4th to 6th graders in text organization and in identifying the purpose and reader of the writing.","PeriodicalId":372781,"journal":{"name":"Korean Association for Literacy","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128656784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of the study are as follows. \u0000First, students showed more interest in familiar contents in the course of classes using film media, and also had new curiosity. Second, when students were well aware of the background knowledge, they tended to analyze the media more critically. Third, students were able to gain confidence when they recognized that their knowledge was accurate during the discussion process and were supported by peers and instructors. Fourth, it is believed that the diversity of university members can be sufficiently helpful in understanding the diversity of historical interpretation. \u0000This study presented a direction for how to introduce and utilize media literacy in history education in the future.

The book is a liberal arts book that describes a vast knowledge of philosophy, literature, culture, space, etc and deep thoughts about walking in a unique style. It is of unrivaled value in that she reflected on the history of mankind by paying attention to walking itself, based on the author’s walking experience. In addition, it is meaningful to argue that walking is a cultural and political phenomenon by insight into the universality and resistance of walking. However, it is a limitation to raise the issue of those who cannot walk only in terms of women’s rights. Humans walk to exist and think while walking, so a society that people do not walk is dangerous.

{"title":"Self-Introduction Writing Education for College Freshmen Considering Genre Characteristics","authors":"Hyeon-ah Oh","doi":"10.37736/kjlr.2023.02.14.1.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37736/kjlr.2023.02.14.1.10","url":null,"abstract":"This study aimed to propose ways to improve students’ writing skills using a letter of self-introduction in writing education for university freshmen. Currently, education on self-introduction letters targets students of different grades considering the characteristics of the letters oriented toward seeking employment. However, it is also necessary to teach university freshmen how to write such letters, not only because of university freshmen’s need to learn about self-introduction letters but also the fact that they often must submit self-introduction letters. To understand the current status of education on self-introduction letters that university freshmen received in high school, the textbook Speech and Writing, one of the selective subjects, was reviewed. Also, the limitations of self-exploratory writing in creating writing content in university liberal arts education were examined. As a result, this author concluded that what university freshmen should note in writing self-introduction letters is not just themselves, the object of writing, but also the “reader,” the context of communication, and “introducing,” the purpose of writing such letters. Education on writing self-introduction letters for university freshmen should be aimed at not only self-exploration to examine their career path or jobs but also at enhancing the basic writing skills required of university students. To this end, this researcher notes the need to select educational content that can improve students’ abilities to consider the genre characteristics of self-introduction, analyze the “reader” and organize and express contents that meet the reader’s needs properly, and achieve the goal of communication by considering the context in which the “introduction” takes place. Because it is not the first time for university freshmen to learn about the situation of self-introduction, this study suggests a method of education that starts by allowing them to check their current status on their own, for instance, what type of concept they have about self-introduction letters or how they write one. In addition, this study proposes a method of education that allows them to experience reading various examples of self-introduction letters as a “real reader” and organize the impressions that the letters made on them so as to discover effective strategies to write a self-introduction letter and apply them to their own writing.","PeriodicalId":372781,"journal":{"name":"Korean Association for Literacy","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134448580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research published from 2005 to 2011 focused mainly on the identity and goals of university writing education and included discussions on writing in the disciplines. Since 2013, there has been a trend of assessing various writing approaches. Nevertheless, efforts to ensure systematicity and specificity of university writing instruction are still required. This is because it remains unclear how teaching strategies and methods can be implemented effectively in classroom settings, even though previous research has suggested tools such as assessment criteria or a feedback system. Therefore, in this study, the types of conversation strategies used in writing conferences were synthesized and classified. This study used a general qualitative research method with ethnographic data collection involving classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis.
