Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aimed to investigate the conditions facing teachers of EFL writing in four countries/regions in Asia: Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The main achievements of the project were as follows: we used surveys to investigate the current state of EFL writing; we also held two international symposia in order to share and compare ideas and findings and clarify common issues and challenges as well as future directions in the teaching and research of EFL writing. We also carried out a close analysis of a learner corpus, which illustrated the specific characteristics of the writing products of EFL learners in the four countries/regions. As a final product we published the book “EFL Writing in East Asia: Practice, Perception and Perspectives,” in which we share the fruits of the research and developments in this field with other teachers and researchers.
