Journal of Second Language WritingToward an Empirical Model of EFL Writing Processes: An Exploratory Study
313 Citations2000Miyuki Sasaki
Investigating EFL learners' writing processes using multiple data sources including their written texts, videotaped pausing behaviors while writing, stimulated recall protocols, and analytic scores revealed that before starting to write, the experts spent a longer time planning a detailed overall organization, whereas the novices spent a shorter time making a less global plan.

Journal of Second Language WritingThe impact of studying in a second language (L2) medium university on the development of L2 writing
169 Citations2009Neomy Storch
The study found that after a semester of study at the university, the learners’ writing improved mainly in terms of structure and development of ideas, but there was no evidence of improvement in linguistic accuracy or complexity.

The authors suggest that the predictions of the Limited Attentional Capacity Model and Cognition Hypothesis may not be applicable to writing, that the effects of pre- task planning in earlier L1 and L2 research may have been moderated by the participants’ education and genre knowledge, and that a threshold level of general L2 proficiency may be necessary for pre-task planning to impact L2 writers’ texts.

153 Citations2009Kyoko Baba
It is suggested that different aspects of L2 lexical proficiency have a differential impact on EFL learners’ summary writing, and that two factors in particular (structure of semantic network of words, and the ability to metalinguistically manipulate words) may constitute the construct of summary writing in L2.

The same broad variational patterns found by Reppen in her corpus are shown to exist in the writing of the ESL and RLA students; however, more careful analysis of the individual features associated with each set indicates that the RLAStudents hold stronger associations between the features and the rhetorical and social functions identified for the set as a whole.
