A Study on the Correlation between Writing Achievement and Reading Achievement of CSL Learners

摘要

As the two crucial processes of output and input of language learning, writing and reading have been widely discussed by researchers. Aiming at giving suggestions on language acquisition for CSL learners, the author selects 865 essays from the HSK Dynamic Composition Corpus, examines them through Pearson correlation and discovers a significant mid-correlation between writing and reading. By dividing the essays into different writing ability groups, it is found that the level of writing does not make a great difference towards the correlation.
