학습자들은 언어를 학습할 때 활용되는 학습 자료에 따라 학습 효과가 달라질 수 있다. 그동안 영어 교실에 활용될 수 있는 그림자료와 문자자료는 언어 학습에 아주 중요한 자료로 간주되어 왔다. 이에 고등학교 2학년 학습자 16명을 대상으로 그림자료와 문자자료를 활용하여 비교․대조글, 묘사글, 이야기 글 쓰기 활동을 8주 동안 실시한 결과, 그림집단과 문자집단 모두 학습자의 쓰기 능력이 향상되었고 하 위 학습자들의 경우 그림자료를 활용한 집단이 쓰기 학습에 대한 흥미와 학습 동기면에서 효과가 있었 다. 한편 상․하위 학습 수준에 따른 오류 유형과 빈도 순서는 서로 크게 다르지 않는 것으로 보아 쓰기 자료 유형이 학습자 수준에 따른 오류에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 그림집단 상위학습자들의 경우 글의 독창성면에서 효과가 있었고 하위학습자들의 경우는 실험이 진행될수록 쓰기 과업에 대한 성취감을 느끼면서 적극적인 학습 태도를 보였다.
The effect of learning can be dependent on types of learning materials. Considering this, this study investigates the effects of writing instruction using picturers and written materials on students\' English writing skills and revising students\' errors. For this study, an experiment was conducted for eight weeks with 16 second-year high school students who were divided into two group. One group were provided with pictures and the other group was given written materials as writing activities. All the students were asked to participate in comparison-contrast, descriptive and narrative writing. The main results obtained from this study are follows. First, students who use pictures as writing materials and those who use written materials can improve their writing skills. Especially lower level students who use pictures can enhance their writing skills gradually in terms of organization, content, and language use with the continual interests in their study. Moreover, those who use written materials feel more comfortable in writing classes. Second, in terms of organization, content, and language use, both groups have few differences in the order of errors\' frequency but the degree of errors\' improvement was a little different. Picture group students improved many addition errors and written materials group enhanced omission errors a lot. Besides, pictures are useful to improve addition errors and learning vocabularies. Written materials are good for improving omission errors and errors about systematic organization. Third, considering students\' learning attitude towards writing classes using pictures and written materials, pictures are useful to write very variously and originally. Written materials group use provided written materials very actively. Especially lower level students of pictures group feel interested in understanding the contents of pictures and more motivated in their studying. As the above study\'s results suggest, writing activities such as using pictures or written materials can have positive effects on promoting English writing skills. Therefore, when teachers teach writing skills to students, diverse and effective activities will be provided to improve English writing skills.
