Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate key features of English summary writing by Korean university students who have received explicit summary writing instruction, and to examine which aspects of summary writing the students found were challenging and difficult. Methods Twelve students’ summaries of an English expository text produced as a mid-term task in an English course at a university in Korea were analyzed. The mean length of the summaries was approximately 536 words. The summaries were analyzed in terms of the use of five summarization strategies and American Psychological Association style in-text citations. Results The analysis found that the students failed to include all of the source text’s important ideas while including some unnecessary ideas. The students used paraphrasing far more frequently than repetition although they had some difficulty in making use of various paraphrasing strategies and sometimes failed to maintain the original meaning of the source text. The students’ use of transformation and invention strategies was limited and in frequent, and a majority of the students incorporated ideas in their summaries that were not present in the source text. The students cited the source text, but not always correctly. Conclusions The results show what students could do well and what they still found difficult in the use of summarization strategies and in-text citations after explicit summary writing instruction, and provide pedagogical implications for summary writing instruction in the future.
