This study attempted to examine the frequency and types of English relative clauses used byKorean EFL adult writers of different proficiency levels. A total of 60 argumentative essayswere randomly selected from the TOEFL trial tests and analyzed in terms of the frequency andtypes of English relative clauses. The results did not confirm completely what the previousstudies found: the order of frequency on the four basic types of relative clauses (OS, OO, SS, &SO) was not identical to that of the current study. High level learners used more SS type thanOO type, a reversed phenomenon comparing to the findings from the previous studies eventhough they used OS type most frequently. On the other hand, intermediate-low level learnersemployed SS and OS types excessively while they rarely used the others. In spite ofunconformity with the results of the previous studies, this study diagnosed the status on howoften Korean EFL learners used relative clauses as well as took a close look at the types ofstructures the learners employed relative clauses in according to different proficiency levels.
