This study aims to investigate what types of self-assessed use of writing strategies Korean vocational college students use and what types of writing strategy use they favor. A total of 519 students from five vocational backgrounds participated Air service, Secretarial studies, Tourism English, Hotel management, and so on. They responded to the Writing Strategy Questionnaire (Petric & Czarl, 2003) which consisted of “Before writing”, “When writing”, and “When revising”based on a five-point Likert-type scale response format. The results of overall writing strategy use showed that the participants used fewer strategies in planning than in composing and revising. Further, this study conducted Confirmatory Factor Analysis to investigate the writing types of Korean vocational college students who responded to self-assessed use. The results showed that students showed non-planning. Two types were found in composing: solving and thinking. Three types were found in revising: revising, observing, and checking. The results suggested that students have their preferred types of writing strategy use. This can comprise a predictive guideline for teachers and researchers.
