Mohammed Ali Mohsen – Language Teaching Research, 2024
Writing in a language different from one's mother tongue is a daunting task. The same challenge may apply to languages that have diglossic features whose spoken form differs from the written form. This article investigates Arab students' writing behaviors (fluency, pauses, and revision) in response to an argumentative composition in their L1…

Barkaoui, Khaled – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2021
Although audience plays an important role in all models of writing, there has been little research on how second language (L2) writers conceptualize and address their audience during the writing process. This study starts to address this research gap by examining when and how L2 learners consider their audience while writing in L2, as well as the…

Calzada, Asier; García Mayo, María del Pilar – Language Awareness, 2021
Collaborative writing tasks have been claimed to offer language learning opportunities because they implicitly draw learners' attention to form. Nevertheless, their efficacy has been claimed to be moderated by proficiency, as low proficiency learners tend to override form over meaning. These claims, however, are mostly based on adult learners and…

Vandenberghe, Bert; Montero Perez, Maribel; Reynvoet, Bert; Desmet, Piet – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
Previous research has suggested that Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) can index form-, meaning-, and use-related aspects of the second language (L2) vocabulary knowledge, through, respectively, a lexical decision task (LDT, targeting N400), a semantic relatedness task (SEMREL, targeting N400), and a grammatical judgment task (GJT, targeting…

Philippakos, Zoi A. – Reading Teacher, 2018
Proficient writers spend substantial time planning for writing, and that planning begins with analyzing the writing task. They spend time considering the topic, the audience and its needs, and the genre and form of the writing. This rhetorical analysis helps them set goals, orient their attention, and get organized. Task analysis can also help…

Xuan, Wenhui Winfred – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2018
While most of the L2 writing literature focuses on tertiary L2 writing, there is relatively scanty research conducted with adolescent L2 writers.

Hidalgo, María Ángeles; Lázaro-Ibarrola, Amparo – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2020
Research into the potential of collaborative writing is relatively new. Similarly, task repetition (TR), which has been claimed to be a valuable tool for language learning, has been rarely explored in the context of writing. Therefore, little is known about the potential of combining TR and collaborative writing, and even less if we focus on young…

Effects of Increasing the Degree of Reasoning and the Number of Elements on L2 Argumentative Writing
Rahimi, Muhammad – Language Teaching Research, 2019
The impacts of task characteristics on second language (L2) writing require further exploration. This study examined the effects of increasing task complexity on L2 argumentative writing. Upper-intermediate L2 learners performed two writing tasks with varying degrees of complexity in relation to the number of elements and the degree of reasoning.…

Rahimi, Muhammad; Zhang, Lawrence Jun – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
Investigating the effects of task design and implementation features on second language (L2) production is necessary, as the findings can provide potential insights into pedagogical and assessment task design and sequencing as well as into the nature of L2 learners' attentional resources. To this end, this study probed into the effects of task…
