This study evaluates the construct validity of four components of writing in Korean and in English based on the responses produced by bilingual and monolingual children. A latent variable approach, favored because of its ability to separate error from meaningful effects, is used to carry out a construct validation with EQS; interrelated hypotheses implied by theory and a writing assessment are sequentially tested.

520 $a This study evaluates the construct validity of four components of writing in Korean and in English based on the responses produced by bilingual and monolingual children. A latent variable approach, favored because of its ability to separate error from meaningful effects, is used to carry out a construct validation with EQS; interrelated hypotheses implied by theory and a writing assessment are sequentially tested.
520 $a Compositions were collected from students in grades 2--4 in a Korean/English dual language program, consisting of two ethno-linguistic groups, and peers from monolingual classes in Los Angeles and Seoul. Letter-writing and story-writing tasks equivalent for both English and Korean were developed. For each task, parallel picture prompts and counter-balanced designs were administered. Componential scoring evaluated four writing constructs (or traits) content, grammar, spelling, and text length separately for Korean and English compositions while using common criteria.
520 $a Factor models were tested separately for each language. The four writing traits (above) are statistically identified as distinguishable yet inter-correlated factors. A hierarchical relationship is found in which the covariance among the writing factors are explained by a higher-order factor. Variances on the higher- and first-order factors are larger for Korean, implying greater individual differences among students who took the Korean writing test than among those taking the equivalent test in English.
520 $a Within each language, multiple group analyses reveal that the identical factor pattern holds across grades, gender, groups defined by parallel picture use, and immersion/monolingual groups. Individual differences in writing performance are explained as more of a function of the writing-trait factors than of the writing tasks. Measurement properties (loadings, intercepts) were tested for their cross-group invariance to see if assessment procedure had actually applied in the same way across groups above.
520 $a An external stage of investigation compared the performance as influenced by student background characteristics; rich information is detailed. At the same time, factor-mean analyses in covariance structure using dummy group predictors and their utility are discussed didactically. In cross-language simultaneous analyses, the English writing factors and the corresponding Korean writing factors are found to be largely independent.
520 $a Implications are discussed in the following domains: writing constructs and instruction, quality of the assessment instrumentation, and considerations of societal, practical, and attitudinal factors as a powerful hidden variable in the degree of biliteral development. We hope the methodology and the substantive findings provide a heuristic for future research.
