Abstract

The purpose of this research is to design evaluation criteria for argumentive writing which is crucial for the future Korean learners with academic purposes who are aiming to enroll for universities. After enrolling to universities, the future Korean learners will have to compose demonstrative papers, such as reports, essays, and thesis. However, they greatly struggle without knowledge on the argumentive writing. In this research paper, we firstly analyzed studies for necessary components from excellent demonstrative literatures. Then, we divided the components into ‘content’, ‘composition of writing’ and ‘expression’. With the categories, we examined whether the components are reflected from 19 essays written by the actual future Korean learners with academic purposes. The result from the ‘content’ category indicated that sufficiency, which checks if the reasoning is quantitatively and qualitatively suffice, was lacking the most. Cohesion, which checks if the paragraphs are well separated and logically connected, was lacking the most from the ‘genre’ category. This result would be helpful for teaching argumentive writing for the future Korean learners with academic purposes. (Ewha Womans University)
