Research Abstract

This research aimed to explore a genre-based approach to academic writing with a focus on learner characteristics, and the results were expected to be incorporated into developing more effective materials. The questionnaire survey was administered to 100 college students to extract learner characteristics. The extracted factors were then analyzed in relation to the writing performances, the scores the participants received after writing a research paper introduction. After a comprehensive examination of current academic writing textbooks, possible materials were suggested based on the research results.
