Lawyers express their opinions mainly by writing. In particular, legal scholars are obliged to write scholarly papers and publish them. A good lawyer also includes being a good writer. However, it is not easy for young lawyers or law students to write a good, scholarly paper. To be a good writer, they should possess discipline. Nonetheless, there are a few practical guidelines for young lawyers or law students to refer to when they begin writing scholarly articles. The primary purpose of this research is to present the core guidelines of scholarly legal writing-what to consider and what to avoid - for beginners; following the author’s experience of editing globally recognized journals in international law as well as writing and publishing scholarly papers at leading academic law magazines in the world. This research paper contains the meaning of good scholarly legal paper, topic and title, research methodology, writing, referencing, research ethics and publication.
In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, creativity plays a pivotal role in the competitiveness of a country. The importance of creativity education therefore cannot be overemphasized. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of discussion-based English reading and writing activities on Korean high school students' creativity, English writing, and self-assessed creative thinking. The participants were 45 high school students in Seoul, Korea. They were divided into two groups: the discussion-based English reading and writing group (n=24) and the traditional English instruction group (n=21). The experiment was administered during two semesters of the 2017 academic year. The major findings are as follows: First, the experimental group showed significant improvement on the creativity test, especially in the areas of fluency, flexibility, and original thinking. Second, the experimental group outperformed the control group on the writing test. Third, the experimental group showed positive changes in their self-assessed flexible thinking, convergent thinking, and intrinsic motivation. All of these indicate the beneficial effects of the discussion-based English reading and writing activities. Based on the results, some pedagogical suggestions were made for the effective integration of creativity education into the teaching of English as a foreign language.
본 연구는 탐구학습과 과정중심 쓰기 통합수업 모형을 적용하여 비판적·창의적 사고 능력을 신장시키는 데 그 목적이 있다. 지금까지 널리 활용되어 온 기존의 읽기 지도 모형들은 쓰기 과정과의 연계가 부족하다는 한계점을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위하여, 현재까지 개발된 읽기 지도 모형 중 가장 학습자 중심의 읽기 교수·학습 모형이며, 읽기 과정과 쓰기 과정을 통합한 모형인 ‘Neo-SQ3R’ 모형을 적용하여, 실험반을 대상으로 사전․·사후 설문조사와 학생 소감문을 통해 모형 투입 전후의 비판적·창의적 사고능력에 대한 학습자 체감 정도를 검증하였다. 모형 투입 전·후 텍스트 재구성 여부 및 창의적 재구성 여부를 통해 비판적․창의적 사고능력 신장 정도를 검증한 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 탐구학습과 과정중심쓰기 모형을 적용한 문학 수업을 통해 비판적·창의적 사고능력이 신장되었다. 둘째, 읽기와 쓰기 과정을 통합한 교수․학습을 통해 총체적 국어사용능력이 신장되었다. 셋째, 학습자 중심의 읽기 교수․학습을 통해 자기주도적이고 적극적인 독자가 되었다.
