Multiple studies have showed that a learning method using copying is one of the effective learning methods to improve learner’s writing ability. But they were not long−term research or empirical studies. In this study, a graduate student had copied and read the famous author’s anthology for ten months. Then, I examined whether his writing ability was improved or not. As a result, I found that his writing ability was improved. And, from the results of the interview, I found that he had learned a variety of things in the process of copying and reading the famous author’s anthology.
