This paper investigates the use of online forums to deliver written corrective feedback to better understand the influence that forum-assisted writing instruction has on writing accuracy. Forty-eight language students from a South Korean university were recruited. The students completed six writing activities using MOODLE forums. The forums allowed students to share compositions online and discuss their writing in class. The instructor downloaded first drafts from the forums and used the Microsoft Word © review tool to provide written corrective feedback. Students received a PDF version of their corrective feedback and were instructed to revise the original post. Students were required to read each other’s posts, and encouraged to reply to one another prior to proceeding classes. This study found that forum-assisted writing instruction increases writing accuracy and supports peer-to-peer review. Students with the poorest writing accuracy at the beginning of the course showed the greatest improvement while students who began with high accuracy improved the least. A pre- and post-survey were administered to better understand second language writing strategies and perceptions and how they relate to writing accuracy. Results from the survey indicate students enjoyed their writing assignments more and feared them less after completing the course.
Abstract
This paper investigates the use of online forums to deliver written corrective feedback to better understand the influence that forum-assisted writing instruction has on writing accuracy. Forty-eight language students from a South Korean university were recruited. The students completed six writing activities using MOODLE forums. The forums allowed students to share compositions online and discuss their writing in class. The instructor downloaded first drafts from the forums and used the Microsoft Word © review tool to provide written corrective feedback. Students received a PDF version of their corrective feedback and were instructed to revise the original post. Students were required to read each other’s posts, and encouraged to reply to one another prior to proceeding classes. This study found that forum-assisted writing instruction increases writing accuracy and supports peer-to-peer review. Students with the poorest writing accuracy at the beginning of the course showed the greatest improvement while students who began with high accuracy improved the least. A pre- and post-survey were administered to better understand second language writing strategies and perceptions and how they relate to writing accuracy. Results from the survey indicate students enjoyed their writing assignments more and feared them less after completing the course.
