초록
The present study investigated nine Korean graduate students' L2 writing socialization experience and explored the problems that they encountered during their L2 writing socialization process both from the students' and the resource providers' perspectives at a mid- western U.S. university. The findings indicate that the students in this study attempted to socialize into their L2 academic discourse through many different venues such as ESL writing courses, writing center tutorials, discipline-specific academic courses, and interactions with peers. It was found that the participants' lack of L2 proficiency inhibited them from active use of the resources and further posed challenges in articulating their needs for more than basic services to the resource providers. The study suggests that there should be more collaboration among the resource providers and also more writing practices need to be done in Korea preferably more in content area courses.
