The enhanced awareness of writing competence and performance in the context of college education is related to change views on literacy and communication. Although the conversion of the concept of communication from the unidirectional transmission of information to the transactional interaction between the sender and receiver has implications for educational practice, writing instructions are still organized based on the traditional cognitive model. Since student conceptions of writing are likely to influence their writing strategies and attitudes, and these in turn affect writing performance, it is necessary to understand students` pre-existing concept of writing brought to the writing context. This study, based on the conceptual metaphor theory, explored student conceptions of writing through metaphors analysis. The context of the study was a writing class provided as a required course for engineering students at a positive university located in Seoul. One hundred sixty six engineering students participated in the study. A total of 166 metaphors and 169 interpretations of those metaphors were generated. The subjective meanings of writing were examined by categorizing metaphors around recurring themes, and two broad dimensions of writing beliefs were identified: a surface, generative, state-oriented approach and a deep, reproductive, process-oriented approach. While the study shows diversity in student views on writing, the result of a frequency analysis indicates the dominant use of specific metaphors by students (e.g. mirror, apprehension, conduit). Also, the numbers of metaphors showing negative emotion and surface approaches decreased and the relative frequencies of sub-dimensions of writing beliefs were evenly distributed after the class. Based on the results, implications for development of a theoretical model of writing beliefs and practical strategies for modifying them were discussed.
