How do Koreans as second or foreign language learners of English acquire English writing? That's my major interest both as a writing teacher and a writing researcher. I have been teaching academic writing for several years at the university level. The research ideas I had while teaching writing to Korean learners of English led me to various research studies. I hope what I have found through research helps me become a better writing teacher.

한국인은 영어 작문을 어떻게 습득하는 것일까? 저는 작문 교수자로서 그리고 작문 연구자로서 항상 이 질문에 관심을 가져왔습니다. 대학에서 수년 간 다양한 종류의 학술 영어 작문을 지도하면서 새로운 연구 주제를 얻었고 또 이를 실제로 연구하고 있습니다. 작문에 대한 연구를 통해 더 나은 작문 교수자가 되고자 합니다.

주요 연구

As a second language writing scholar, I have been studying how Korean learners of English learn English writing from various angles. From a teacher's perspective, I have been studying how various types of feedback―teacher feedback, peer feedback, and self-feedback―are different in their effects on student writing. I'm also interested in how students perceive these various types of feedback. My current research interest lies in writing teacher development, that is, how to train Koreans as successful English writing instructors.
