This poper examines an L1 learning experience shared by many EFL students in Japan: writing an essay in Japanese on university entrance exams. The main purpose is to identify the features of the experience that L2 writing teachers need to address in their classrooms. The major issues that are investigated are 1) what kind of writing students are expected to do on the exams, 2) what the purpose of the essay question is, and 3) what kind of training students receive to improve their writing skills. Foillowing this investigation, is a discussion of how the experience of writing the entrance exam essay compares with the approach to writing found in mainstream ESL/EFL writing classes. It is hoped that comparing students' previous writing experiences with the approach to writing they are likely to encounter in the L2 writing classroom will help contribute to more effective writing pedagogy.
