Native and non-native students’ interaction with a text-based prompt 2013

چکیده :
The present study aims to continue in a vein of research which
examines the effects of essay prompts on examinees’ writing performance
by closely investigating 40 student essays produced from
a university-wide reading-to-write test. Quantitative and qualitative
results of this study show that native and non-native writers
at different proficiency levels exhibit variety in their selection of
lexical items and propositional material from the background reading.
Among other things, it is found that the higher-rated native
group outperformed the other groups in their ability to identify
topical information and in a better sense of what details from the
source text to include. The two non-native groups, although able
to locate superordinate propositions of the source text, lack native
writers’ ability to readjust their selection of material according to
the author’s epistemological stance. The lower-rated native writers
paid little attention to the source text and merely used the substance
of the text as a “springboard” to elicit their own opinions in
response to the topic. Possible explanations for these results and
their implications for writing pedagogy and assessment are also
discussed.
