Chapter 8. Using keystroke logging for studying L2 writing processes
-
, und
Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of keystroke logging. The chapter includes a general rationale for why and when the method is appropriate, how the technique works, and pros and cons with different methodological combinations of keystroke logging. Further, the chapter briefly outlines some previous L2 writing keystroke logging studies to illustrate the type of questions that can be addressed by this data collection technique. Finally, we discuss some methodological challenges and suggest best practices for using the method.
