Abstract—This paper reports on a preliminary investigation into evening college students’ views on their own behavior in English writing classes. A total of 68 English-majored students enrolled in the evening session of the Applied Foreign Languages department at a university of science and technology in northern Taiwan participated in this study. Questionnaire surveys were conducted with a primary focus on various inappropriate behaviors stated in the classroom conduct code. Initial findings showed that the majority of the participants were highly engaged in classroom activities. However, some were also involved in other activities. Chatting with classmates might be a more serious problem against the rules from students’ perspective.
