The study explored the pedagogical benefits of and students’ perceived usefulness toward the process approach in second language writing. Twenty university students—prospective teachers of English in Korea—participated in this study, sharing their thoughts on the process approach after one semester of academic writing. As data, a survey, pre/post essay tests, and written reflections were collected. The study found that one semester of the process approach including teacher and peer feedback was helpful for improving students’ writing development in various areas, ranging from content to mechanics. Although students evaluated teacher feedback to be more useful than peer feedback on the survey, they appreciated the opportunity of learning different perspectives, writing styles, and expressions during the peer review. In their written reflections, students further showed willingness to utilize the process approach in their own writing class in the future. (Dong-A University)
