We restricted the present survey to writing expression because, according to the results in Report 26, The Development of Language Abilities in Elementary School Children, writing expression ability showed the highest and most stable correlation with other linguistic abilities. This book reports on the following surveys. 1. Test of Writing Expression Ability: This test is particularly noteworthy for the way its questions were designed so that in the future it can be used for comparison with children of the same school year. 2. Survey of Writing Expression Activities: We investigated elementary school children's Chinese character usage, descriptions of things and sounds, expressions of events, usage of conversational dialogue, and usage of honorific expressions through compositions which they had written. 3. Survey of the Various Factors Related to Evaluation of the Quality of Elementary School Children's Written Compositions: The factors surveyed included the day and time that children wrote the compositions, topic, instructions, and differences among the evaluators. 4. Questionnaire on Linguistic Life for the Purpose of Investigating Connections with Ability in Writing Expression: We found that children who wrote compositions frequently, children who enjoyed reading, and children who kept diaries scored highly on Test 1, the Test of Writing Expression Ability. 5. Questionnaire on the Actual Situation of Composition Instruction. This survey was directed by MURAISI Syôzô, NEMOTO Kesao, and OKAMOTO Keiroku, and the report was written by MURAISI Syôzô., application/pdf}, publisher = {東京書籍}, title = {児童の表現力と作文}, year = {1978}, yomi = {コクリツ コクゴ ケンキュウジョ} }
