Chapter 13. Writing
-
Ronald P. Leow
Abstract
This chapter first provides a brief overview of the current state of L2 writing research conducted in or relevant for L2 learning programs in three areas: (1) L2 learning processes and outcomes associated with instructional interventions via the manipulation of tasks; (2) L2 learning processes and outcomes of classroom learners’ processing of written corrective feedback; and (3) written L2 development in instructed settings. We then analyze key methodological considerations associated with empirical research in these strands, together with a discussion of ways of assessing and interpreting the results from the perspective of language learning. In the final part we discuss methodological challenges facing future empirical investigations in each of the three areas identified and provide suggestions for addressing these challenges.
