그래픽 조직자와 개요작성이 성인 영어 학습자의 쓰기 능력과 정의적 영역에 미치는 영향

The study investigates the effects of graphic organizers and outlining on adult English learners' writing ability and affective domain. The subjects of the study were thirty nine adult learners, divided into three groups-a control group and two experimental groups. The experimental groups, i.e., graphic organizer and outlining group, worked on pre-writing activities, and the control group wrote a text without a pre-writing stage. The results of the study found that the graphic organizer group and the outlining group showed significant enhancement in the post-evaluation scores. The graphic organizer group had statistically significant changes in the domains of content and composition in the post-evaluation rather than the pre-evaluation, and the outlining group showed increased scores in the domains of content, composition, and technique. Further, there was significant change in the affective domain. In particular, statistically significant enhancement was observed in the confidence domain. The learners seemed to understand the way of generating rich ideas and organizing writing through the stage of pre-writing as planning, and they acquired the ability to write smoothly and gained confidence and interest about writing naturally.
