The purposes of this study were to investigate the writing performance in terms oflength and linguistic creativity, and examined factors that predict writing performance.Subjects were 116 12th grade students from 3 senior high schools in Taipei City andYilan County and they were asked to start writing with the “if” sentences in class duringa 50 minutes period. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-wayANOVA, and stepwise regression. The major findings were as follows: 1. A combinationof “fluency” and “number of total words written” factors could help predict writingperformance with 54 % accuracy. 2. A combination of “sentence variety”, “number oftotal words written”, and “sematic coherence and flow smoothness” could help predictwriting performance with 64% accuracy. The above findings provide an importantreference for teachers in writing instruction and future research. |
