The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of scaffolding in English(EFL) writing tasks based on Vygotskian perspectives. Qualitative methods were mainly used to build the large picture of scaffolding process in English writing. Quantitative methods were secondarily used to supplement the qualitative results. A science high school in which gifted and quasi-gifted students attend was selected as a research site. An English teacher, 28 students and a native speaker(American) participated in the research. Eight focal students were observed and interviewed in depth. The findings of the study are as follows; First, macroscaffolds in English writing class were students' ownership, task appropriateness, the sequence of learning, collaborative interaction and internalization. Second, microscaffolds found in the process of dialogic scaffolding in English writing class differently worked according to student's level, writing strategy and rhetorical structure. Third, there were significant differences between the writing performance before scaffolding and the one after scaffolding in terms of the results of holistic and analytic scoring. Regarding differential effect, instructional scaffolding was more effective for beginning level students. The rhetorical elements such as concluding paragraph, overall cohesion and use of conjunctions in particular showed relatively low improvement. Fourth, in terms of research method, this study indicated that ecologically relevant scaffolding research was possible by holistically and deeply observing, recording and analyzing the whole process of a class for a semester.
