• Reformulation is a pedagogical technique often used in ESL composition instruction. This paper reexamines the effectiveness of this technique from a research perspective. It compares essays written by Japanese ESL writers with reformulated versions prepared by native-speaking ESL instructors. While these ESL instructors may reformulate ESL essays intuitively (i.e., without any conscious and deliberate linguistic analysis), the quantitative analysis separately undertaken confirms that the features reformulators choose to reformulate strongly correlate with the ESL essay features often perceived as native / non-native differences. This type of systematic comparison brings the ESL instructors' intuitive reformulation efforts to the conscious and explicit level of analysis, showing how the reformulation technique serves as a revealing research tool in second language writing.
