문법 능력과 작문 능력 간의 상관성 고찰 －고등학교 1학년생의 논술문을 중심으로－

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to reveal the correlation between grammar ability and writing ability. To reach the goal of this study, we analyzed 64 essays written by 1st grade high school students with Pearson’s correlation analysis and FACETS program. We investigated the grammatical errors with three criteria such as the textual cohesion, the syntactic concord, and the mechanic correctness. The results of this study are as follows：First, the correlation between grammar ability and writing ability is significant, which suggests that the students who have the higher grammar ability receive the higher evaluation marks in the writing task. Second, the categories of syntax and mechanic correctness have statistically quite significant correlation with the writing ability, and the category of text is also correlated with th e writing ability. Third, grammar ability has quite significant correlation with not only the expression but also the content and the organization which are subcategories of writing. These findings would provide some important suggestions for the integrated education in the field of grammar and the field of writing in Korean language education.
