8.2 Effects on Overall Writing Proficiency

This study adopted the criteria used in the NCEE to measure the students’ writing proficiency. The results are shown in Fig. 8.1, and reveal a general increase in overall writing proficiency in the post-intervention written texts of 1.96 points over that found in the pre-intervention texts (with an average score of 12.52 in the pre-intervention and 14.48 in the post-intervention).

The results of individual students are presented in Figs. 8.2 and 8.3, from the lowest score (S1) to the highest score (S21) in the pre-intervention writing task. 15 students out of 21 (71.42%) showed an improvement in the post-intervention writing task . Three students (S6, S12, and S20) obtained the same score, and the scores of S15, S18 and S21 fell slightly in the post-intervention stage.
