Abstract 

This study adopted an integrated approach to investigate how second language (L2) writers engaged in cognitive processes during planning and writing and generated their written products under a randomly assigned planning time condition. Participants were 160 intermediate-high L2 writers who performed a narrative task under either the pre-task planning condition (PTP), the online planning condition (OLP), the combination of the pre-task and online planning condition (PTP/OLP), or the no planning condition (NP). Furthermore, 60 writers, randomly selected from the four task conditions, participated in video stimulated recall interviews (VSRIs). L2 writers’ performance was analyzed using complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) measures. Quantitative analyses revealed that PTP, OLP, and PTP/OLP improved complexity and fluency, but OLP and PTP/OLP fostered accuracy while PTP had no effect compared to NP. Additionally, only the paired interaction between PTP/OLP and PTP was positive for fluency while other paired interactions remained insignificant. The VSRIs also demonstrated that while PTP facilitated attention to the planning processes and OLP improved attention to the translating processes and monitoring system, PTP/OLP aided in differentially attending to the writing systems and processes. These results suggest that task planning mitigated specific demands on L2 writers’ cognitive processes and fostered writing products.

Multilingual academic genre knowledge: Insights from a mixed-method study of post-graduate students in Kazakhstan

Abstract 

In an increasing number of post-graduate programmes in Kazakhstan, students may be expected to produce academic or professional texts in up to three languages—Kazakh, Russian, and English. While previous research has shown the benefits of genre-based approaches to English academic development, this study seeks to understand students’ development of genre knowledge in multiple languages simultaneously. Using Tardy’s (2009) four-part genre knowledge framework, a survey measuring self-reported genre knowledge in three languages was developed and administered to Master’s and PhD students (n=283) at 6 Kazakhstani universities, followed by interviews of students (n=43), teachers (n=34) and administrators (n=30) on approaches to genre knowledge development. Survey data revealed students generally have higher genre knowledge in Russian, followed by Kazakh and English. Students have higher Formal knowledge than other types of genre knowledge across languages. Interview findings suggest students are primarily influenced by IELTS exam-based, Formal knowledge approaches to education in English. The results suggest a need for both explicit instruction in non-structural elements of genre knowledge in three languages, and expanded identification of the key components of genre knowledge in languages other than English.

A study of co-adaptation through journaling

Abstract 

The present study, framed by complex dynamic systems theory (de Bot et al., 2007; Larsen-Freeman & Cameron, 2008), explores the relationship between co-adaptation and journaling. Primarily viewed as a theoretical, explanatory mechanism, co-adaptation—a process describing how components of a dynamic system (e.g., a classroom) interact and reorganize their behavior in mutually influential ways to solve local problems (e.g., communication)—also holds promise as a teaching tool for developing L2 academic literacy (Fogal et al., 2020). To investigate this underexamined possibility, the present classroom-based study engages with journaling as a form of educational practice for academic literacy development. This study examines context-related affordances and an iterative series of daily journal entries and instructor reflections through a thematic analysis in line with design-based research and based on Baba (2020). Findings highlight how co-adaptation through journaling can help describe developmental processes and assist teachers and learners in developing academic literacy practices. This work contributes to discussions about how to conceptualize and operationalize classrooms as co-adaptive and relational spaces and invites instructors to reimagine journaling and journaling feedback as a resource for engagement and co-adaptation in the teaching-learning environment.

期刊简介

The Journal of Second Language Writing is devoted to publishing theoretically grounded reports of research and discussions that represent a significant contribution to current understandings of central issues in second and foreign language writing and writing instruction. Some areas of interest are personal characteristics and attitudes of L2 writers, features of L2 writers' texts, L2 writers' composing processes, readers' responses to L2 writing, assessment/evaluation of L2 writing, contexts (cultural, social, political, institutional) for L2 writing, and any other topic clearly relevant to L2 writing theory, research, and instruction. Manuscripts should take care to emphasize the pedagogical implications of the work.《二语写作杂志》刊载以理论为基础的研究和研讨报告，其内容主要围绕当前二语和外语写作及其教学的中心问题而展开，包括二语写作者的个人特征和态度，写作流程及其文本的特点。此外还涉及读者对二语文章的反应，二语文章的评估，二语写作的文化背景（社会，政治，制度）以及其他和二语写作理论、研究、教学相关的话题。
