The Effects of Error Logs in the Error Correction in KFL Student Writings

The present study sought to qualitatively examine the effects of using error log activities in one Korean as a Foreign Language (KFL) classroom. The effectiveness of error log activities was examined in terms of learners’ perceptions and accuracy improvement in writings. To this end, six Chinese female adult learners studying at a Korean language institute in Busan were asked to produce eight writing assignments over four months. Three of them kept error logs after receiving the teacher’s feedback on their writings, while the other three did not. The lexical and grammatical errors in their writings were then cross-checked between one assignment to the next. The overall findings indicate that keeping error logs can help learners to become aware of repeatedly occurring errors in their writings and to reduce them in the next writings. It is also suggested that learners need to make conscious efforts to pay attention to teacher feedback in order to improve their writing accuracy and become autonomous writers. The limitations and implications of the study will be discussed.
