The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effect of counterargument integration teaching and learning in argumentative writing education. Even though previous studies have addressed the issue that students can not effectively deal with the counterargument in argumentative writing, there has been lack of discussion about how to promote the use of counterargument that contributes to promoting acceptability of the author’s position in argumentative writing. In this regard, this study focuses on counterargument integration and examines the educational effect of counterargument integration teaching and learning for argumentative writing.In chapter Ⅱ, this study tried to construct the theoretical basis for the counterargument integration teaching and learning for argumentative writing. Based on literature review, this study examined the concept of counterargument integration and various factors of it. Counterargument integration is defined as ;;the use of counterargument and response on that counterargument which contributes to promoting the acceptability of the author;;s position in the argumentative writing that copes with the pros and cons of the argument”. In addition, various factors of counterargument integration are discussed based on the level of recognizing actual counterargument, constructing expected counterargument, and using counterargument on the text.In chapter Ⅲ, this study focused on designing the counterargument integration teaching and learning for argumentative writing. First of all, this study examined how argumentative writing education has been conducted now in South Korea by analyzing Korean language education curriculum and textbooks. Next, this study analyzed the argumentative writing data of 59 high school second grade students. The writing patterns were analyzed and typed, and some implications were discussed.Based on literature review, curriculum and textbook analysis, and educational implications based on the students’ argumentative writing patterns, the counterargument integration teaching and learning activities were designed. Firstly, as for the educational activities for recognizing actual counterargument, exploring argumentative texts for understanding the controversial essence of argumentation and filling in a self-checklist for recognizing argumentative writing metacognitivelywere suggested. Secondly, as for the educational activities for constructing expected counterargument, conducting a small group discussion to understand pros and cons of arguments and making a list of pros and cons of arguments were suggested. Thirdly, as for the educational activities for using counterargument on the text, using a direct teaching model for learning counterargument responding strategies and using scaffolds for constructing arguments which respond to the counterargument were suggested. In Chapter Ⅳ, this study tried to demonstrate the effect of the counterargument integration teaching and learning for argumentative writing which is designed in chapter Ⅲ. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental study was designed, which consists of an experimental group, a comparative group, and a control group (25 students for each group). As a result of one-way ANOVA on the students’ prior argumentative writing level, it was confirmed that each group had the same level. As for the experimental group, the counterargument integration education was conducted. As for the comparative group, the argumentative writing education using the pre-existing ;;Speaking and Writing’ textbooks. As for the control group, there was no educational instruction given.In order to demonstrate the effect of education, mixed research method was used to confirm argumentative writing level after the education. As a result of quantitative analysis, there was a difference between the groups on the level of argumentative writing. Based on this, it was confirmed that the counterargument integration teaching and learning for argumentative writing education was effective. Qualitative analysis was conducted by selecting the average level of students’ argumentative writing in each group in order to point out the qualitative aspects of argumentative writing before and after the education. The qualitative aspects of the argumentative writing at the average and superior level of argumentative writing in the experimental group were also examined. The result of this study suggests that further research on the counterargument integration teaching and learning in argumentative writing education is needed.
