Details As an intervention to improve prewriting processes for persuasive writings generation, authors developed " Rationale Production Training “and examined its effects. But so far comparison with other intervention that activates learners' thinking and is equal to “Rationale Production Training “has not been carried out. Therefore, we focused "the word-association instructional strategy" that is an intervention to support activation of writers’ images before composition. The present study examined training with two different types of instructions: Rationale Production focus and word-association focus.
As a result of analysis, number of rationales increased more through "Rationale production training" than "the word-association instructional strategy". In addition, quality of presented rationales example (level of persuasiveness) did not influence number of produced rationales.
