  • Cultivating Writing Strengths in Japanese High School Students

    The Bulletin of the Writing Research Group, JACET Kansai Chapter Vol. 15 (The Writing Research Group, JACET Kansai Chapter)   ( 15 ) 17 - 34 2023.03

    Research paper (conference, symposium, etc.), Single Work, Corresponding author, Accepted,  ISSN  1883-7840

     View Summary

    This paper presents a report on the teaching of writing to 160 second-year high school
    students at a private high school in Kanagawa Prefecture during the 2022-2023 academic year.
    The objective of the study is to explore the strategies used by the teacher to motivate students
    to write in English and improve their writing skills throughout the year. The goal of the
    writing course was for students to be able to write a 300-word essay at the end. To assist
    students in achieving this goal, the teacher taught them the grammar and vocabulary
    necessary to produce paragraphs using the authorized textbook, and then had them write
    paragraphs on various topics, beginning with short paragraphs of around 50 words and
    gradually producing longer paragraphs. Students completed 14 writing assignments before
    they were ready to write the 300-word essay. This paper focuses on writing assignments,
    corrective feedback, tests, student input, and peer assessment, arguing that encouraging
    students to make consistent effort is the most effective method to enhance their writing skills.

     View Summary

    This paper reports on how Assessment for Learning (AFL) was implemented in a high school writing class in Japan where examination-oriented Assessment of Learning (AOL) is common. First, a checklist for 200-word essays was developed to help students notice and edit their errors. The results of the two tests and the questionnaire show that the checklist was beneficial for students to develop their summarizing and paraphrasing skills and to become aware of the academic writing style which requires clarity and conciseness. Second, students were asked to edit and revise their 500 to 700-word essays through five kinds of feedback: self-assessment, peer assessment, teacher commentary, implicit teacher feedback and explicit teacher feedback. The questionnaire reveals that students did not think they benefited from self-assessment nor peer assessment. It was found that students heavily depend on teacher feedback, which inhibits them from noticing their errors and correcting them on their own. The difficulties writing teachers face in the AOL context also discussed.

     View Summary

    Reflection is the practice of thinking analytically about one's experiences and activities. The presenters will describe how they incorporated reflective activities in their junior high school, high school, university, and pre-service English teacher education classes. As part of the goal of every learning activity, students critically reflect upon their performance. Three factors necessary for effective reflective practice will be discussed: opportunities for student choice and initiative, manageable yet challenging tasks, and supportive and sharing classroom relationships.
