Main ideas: An investigation into student writing

Abstract

Written final exams of many ESL or EFL students attending college or university are often written and memorized before the actual test in some manner. Often, the students will usually have some sort of idea of what they will be tested on in the final exam. As such, they are under pressure to perform and not only that, but to obtain a certain percentage on their final exam. From my personal observations, these students usually memorize their answers beforehand and simply rewrite them during their final exams. The students may or may not have adequately prepared for their final exams and may at times forget the material that they tried to memorize. This paper addresses the issue of whether or not students are able to independently compose a solid main idea in the writing process (n=39). Furthermore, additional observations will be made. For instance, can these students connect ideas and arguments based off of their main idea? This paper aims to contribute an analytical approach for instructors at Duzce University so that they may assist students with their composition writing skills in the future.
