쓰기 과제에 드러난 내용 요소 분석

Abstract

Writing assignment, which is given to students as a kind of performance assignments, has fundamental constituents of theme, object, expecting readers, and method. The writing assignments with lack of the fundamental constituents were presented often in previous Korean text books or education fields. According to the analysis of the writing assignments in the 2010 year textbooks, on the other hand, most of the textbooks have the fundamental constituents well. Nevertheless, because of ambiguity or abstractness of the approaches focusing on process or genre in the writing assignments, learners have some problems to write easily the assignments with specific contents. In order to solve this problem, writing assignments need compensation of the content elements. Theme and reading material construct content area in writing assignment. The analysis of theme shows that there is an inter relation between the genre and the content area, and the analysis of reading materials of living essays shows a trend of representation of an ideal role model of teen ages, which is not sufficient to stimulate various thoughts of the learners. It was suggested, as a solution for the problems related with theme, that to connecting the writing assignments of each other by narrowing themes for each genre, or of diverse genres by using one theme according to the level of difficulty. Also, for the case of reading materials, it was suggested that reading materials are to be chose and arranged in order to enhance thinking power of learner by building up relationships of form and content in the same chapter, or by using intertextuality.
