The Pattern of Paraphrasing in the Academic Writing of Foreign Graduate Students: Focusing on the Comparison with Korean Graduate Students

This study suggests ways for paraphrasing education to foreign graduate students by comparing the patterns between Korean graduate students and foreign graduate students on paraphrasing in academic writing. To this end, this study conducted an experiment and interview to analyze paraphrasing patterns in the academic writing of Korean and foreign graduate students. The experiment results showed that Korean and foreign graduate students used paraphrasing in words, sentences, and paragraphs. However, foreign graduate students had a different pattern of changing a word than Korean graduate students and used awkward or incorrect sentences when they used combinations of paraphrasing types. Meanwhile, the interview results showed that foreign graduate students had difficulty using paraphrasing in academic writing, and the paraphrasing process was more challenging to write than to read. Moreover, they focused on using appropriate vocabulary, grammar, and expressions rather than the overall structure or content. Consequently, this study proposed helpful education directions for enhancing the paraphrasing skills in academic writing of foreign graduate students.
