My 15th writing experience-2017 spring P university

This study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of my writing instruction when the medium of instruction is English and prepare for the following writing instruction in the Southern part of South Korea. To achieve the goal, three research questions were raised and answered in a given order; 1) Participants of the study (N=27) show progress in writing in terms of accuracy and fluency, 2) The most frequently appearing errors appeared in the pretest were Mechanics > Agreement > Sentence types > Main verb. 3) Agreement > Mechanics > Meaning > Sentence types > Main verb errors survived at the end of the semester. As far as the medium of instruction is concerned which is English, the major errors appeared in the pretest survived at the end of the semester. Considering that learners were exposed to multiple sources of teaching interventions, this result is surprising. Instructional intervention were quizzes and three assignments: 1) Building better sentences, 2) Capitalization, and 3) Progressive report. Based upon the findings of the study, instructional intervention on Meaning errors was suggested as the form of the quizzes in the future.
