In this paper, the genre characteristic of the narrative type of answer was examined through the review of the previous research, and the narrative type of the foreign student was analyzed based on this. This is basically to provide basic data for academic writing education. Analysis was made on two aspects of knowledge of major and genre, and major knowledge was used as the criterion of analysis. Genre knowledge is composed of four aspects: structure, style, cohesion and cohesiveness. As a result of the analysis, foreign students understood the knowledge of the major, but did not explain it in detail. In terms of genre knowledge, it is rare to have all of the macroscopic structures required by the problem. In the case of style, the form of the predicate was appropriate, but the use of colloquial expressions was more frequent, and there were few cases where the propositions were presented in a compact manner using limited phrases. In terms of binding structures, the directive connection expressions of ‘yi’ type are not properly used. Even in the case of coherence, discourse markers were not used properly, and expressions of opinions were not properly used. (Yonsei University)
