Questioning the common practice of treating texts as property that can be stolen and instead exploring the social and rhetorical dimensions that define what is owned (and what is not), as well as what can be taken and appropriated, I drew on data from a yearlong qualitative investigation of young children writing with technology to interrogate how…

When (professional) authors work on their texts, they frequently 'jump' around their document to make textual changes and create new content at a wide range of locations. Currently, a range of linearity measures are available to capture this, some of which requiring time-intensive manual coding. Linearity metrics are commonly calculated based on…

There are multi-faceted, invisible layers within a writer that impact the writer's processes. Since these layers are not necessarily brought to conscious awareness or made visible, however, the writing process contains unintentional influencers. I forward these notions to argue for intentional pedagogical practices that not only consider ideas of…

The broader aim of this study is the corpus-based investigation of the written language production process. To this end, temporal markers have been keylog recorded alongside the writing processes to exploit pauses to segment the speech product into linear units of performance. However, identifying these pauses requires selecting the relevant…

Navigating academic writing, the waters of academic life, should be a sustainable practice, which supports the learning and personal development of writers. However, cultures of writing differ in their sustainability. The sustainability of writing cultures relies heavily on whether writing is a solitary or social practice and whether it is…

Writing a synthesis text involves interacting reading and writing processes, serving the comprehension of source information, and its integration into a reader-friendly and accurate synthesis text. Mastering these processes requires insight into process' orchestrations. A way of achieving this is via process feedback in which students compare…

This is an exploration of challenges faced by bachelor's students during the thesis-writing process and the development of a model to simplify and visualise this research journey. Drawing from literature and insights gained through supervision observations and interviews, the model addresses common challenges such as topic selection,…

Early writing includes both transcription skills (e.g., handwriting and spelling) and composing skills (e.g., the generation, manipulation, and translation of ideas into writing), yet early composing is not as well understood in academic research or by classroom educators. This study seeks to understand 1) how children retained or modified core…

This study examines the potential to use non-expert, crowd-sourced raters to score essays by comparing expert raters' and crowd-sourced raters' assessments of writing quality. Expert raters and crowd-sourced raters scored 400 essays using a standardised holistic rubric and comparative judgement (pairwise ratings) scoring techniques, respectively.…

The author is an authoritative person who creates the literary world. The relevance of our article is a narrative analysis of Mukhtar Magauin's work, one of the writers with a clear style and personality, who has developed his own school of writing in Kazakh literature. Since ancient times, the recognition of the writer's personality by analyzing…

This New Zealand-based inquiry investigates modelling as an instructional component of writing pedagogy in upper primary schools. As part of a large mixed methods study of writing instruction by a group of exemplary teachers (N = 9), we inquired into the occurrence, operationalisation and relative benefits of teachers using each of the recognised…

We propose inviting the body into the university writing process through somatic pedagogical practices. This study investigates an effort to write from our body and through our body in a course where students used the body as a site of creation. Challenging mind-body dualism and the erasure of bodily ways of knowing, students participated in…

How is it possible to research emotions with minimal disruption? In the research that was the basis for this Case Study, the researcher wanted to understand how participants in a writing group experienced emotions during their academic writing and how they used emotion regulation and interpersonal emotion regulation during writing group sessions.…

Drawing on a study involving interviews with 20 students each semester until graduation, this article examines how participants understood and articulated their writing processes and how they perceived those processes changing over time. Although they initially struggled to find language to describe what they were doing when they wrote, falling…
