Effects of Collaborative Writing Activities on University Students’ Business Writing Performance and Learning Strategies

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explores the effect of web-based collaborative writing activities through interactive peer-to-peer corrective feedback conducted by students. 40 university students participated in a writing module and were encouraged to participate in both individual and group writing activities based on online interactions with other peers. 40 writing samples from individual writing tasks and 40 writing samples from the web-based writing were collected and scored by both a native teacher and a Korean teacher. Cohen’s analytic scoring rubric (1994) was used for the analysis of learners’ corrective behaviors. This study illustrates three main research questions on student writing behaviors through web-based collaborative Business writing activities. This study shows that experiencing online collaborative Business writing activities may have positive effects on both students’ writing and their writing strategies.
