Students' Revision Behavior in EFL Writing Project Assignment

摘要

Writing is a result of a process involving idea development and language competence. This study reports the investigation of the pattern of students' effort of revising a writing project. This qualitative study used in-depth interviews to collect the data from two classes of advanced level students in the English Education Department. Before the interview, students completed a writing assignment in the form of a one-semester project. They were then interviewed on how they did the writing project assignment. The findings reveal that the completion of the project, which undergoes the process, requires revision several times depending upon the allotted time. This revision process portrays students' tendency to revising their writing projects such as social media grouping, technology application dependence, in-group dynamics, and learning model preference. These findings seem to be a pivotal contribution for teachers to design students' projects for language learning purposes.
