The purposive sampling is 14 vocational teachers in the fields of Tourism, Mathematics and Thai. Their average age was 35 and studied English with the communicative approach. This research was action research by recorrecting assignments with descriptive review from lecturers and Emergenetics® test result to develop the writing process. The statistics were mean, standard deviation, Pair Sample t-Test and One-way ANOVA.

         The results were; 1) The result of learners' writing process by re-editing twice with the lecturer comments on 4 topics; Writing an Introduction, Extended Essay, Explaining Picture and Freehand Writing. The recorrection resolves problems of fragmentary writing, writing extended version, better clarified thesis statements and stop using the bullet points. The overall score of the assignments before and after the recorrection was significantly different at the .05 level. 2) The pattern and sequence of their writing’s problem then grouped and confirmed by Emergenetics® test; Conceptualizing for 2 persons, Structural learning for 5 persons, Social Relations for 4 persons, and Analytical learning for 3 persons. The overall writing scores of each group were =15.80, S.D.=0.00, =14.60, S.D.=1.28, =13.07, S.D.=0.90 and  =12.43, S.D.=0.32. The average score of each Emergenetics® group was different at the .05 level. 3) The overall student satisfaction was at a very good level ( = 4.18 and S.D. = 0.15). In conclusion, the recorrection process suited Thai adults studying English using a communicative approach. The studentswriting capability was comprehensible with the results of Emergenetics®. The thought processes of people indicated the style and preference of writing.
