There has been growing evidence that the lack of academic writing skills
among university students who learn English as a Second Language (ESL)
affects their overall academic performance. Higher education ESL students
often find writing academic essays a complex process and hence struggle with
academic writing convention issues. However, in order to encourage these
students’ to be autonomous in their English academic writing, explicit and
supportive instruction is necessary on the teacher’s part. This study aims to
investigate thirty Foundation students’ revision activities pre- and post-
intervention and whether there are any changes in their reviewing activities
after being exposed to the intervention for twelve weeks. The reviewing
activities were categories and analysed for inter-correlations. It is found that
the students’ revision activities at first seem to concentrate mostly on Surface
Changes-Meaning Preserving Changes activities. However, this changes in the
second half of the intervention period where they seem to perform more
Meaning Changes-Microstructure Changes and the least is Surface Changes-
Formal Changes.
