  • 1 Second Language Writing in the Twentieth Century: a Situated Historical Perspective
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-52983-9 - Exploring the Dynamics of Second Language Writing Edited by Barbara Kroll Excerpt More information 1 Second language writing in the twentieth century: A situated historical perspective Paul Kei Matsuda Existing historical accounts of studies in second language (L2) writing, which began to appear in the 1990s, usually begin with the 1960s and catalogue pedagogical approaches or emphases (e.g., Leki, 1992; Raimes, 1991; Silva, 1990).1 It is not historically insignificant that many researchers see the 1960s as the beginning of the discipline, that they focus on pedagogical approaches or emphases, and that historical ac- counts began to appear in the 1990s because these accounts embody a set of assumptions about the disciplinary and epistemological status of second language writing. That is, these accounts tend to position second language writing as a subfield of second language studies and present the primary responsibility of second language writing researchers as the development of pedagogical knowledge in the service of advancing the field. Yet, a broader view of the history seems to suggest the limitations of these assumptions. Although it is true that writing issues began to attract serious attention from L2 specialists only in the 1960s, historical evidence suggests that L2 writing instruction did not suddenly become an issue in the 1960s (Matsuda, 1999). Furthermore, the rise of historical consciousness in the early 1990s seems to indicate that the nature of second language writing studies began to change around that time. My goal in this chapter is to provide an understanding of the dy- namics of the field of second language writing by considering its de- velopment from a broader, interdisciplinary perspective.

  • Mapping the Gaps in Services for L2 Writers Martha Davis Patton, University of Missouri (With Debt to Jessica Armstrong)
    WAC and Second Language Writing: Cross-field Research, Theory, and Program Development Mapping the Gaps in Services for L2 Writers Martha Davis Patton, University of Missouri (with debt to Jessica Armstrong) Abstract: Given complaints about preparation of international students for their writing-intensive courses, a director of first-year writing and an undergraduate researcher at a Midwestern research university conducted a needs assessment based on Kaufman’s model. Instruments used included a survey, interviews, and analysis of commentary on sample papers. Findings suggest that there is a growing undergraduate second-language (L2) population, both locally and nationally, yet there continues to be a gap between L1 writing research and L2 writing research; there is also a gap between and among several university writing units. Recommendations include appeals to administrators for more teaching, tutoring, and faculty development resources. To refine the assessment in the future, an alternative needs assessment model, the Logic Model, is described.

  • The Emergence and Development of Syntactic Patterns in EFL Writing in a School Context: a Longitudinal Study
    languages Article The Emergence and Development of Syntactic Patterns in EFL Writing in a School Context: A Longitudinal Study M. Luz Celaya Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and English Studies, University of Barcelona, 08007 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Received: 21 March 2019; Accepted: 18 June 2019; Published: 19 June 2019 Abstract: The present longitudinal study analyses the emergence and development of syntactic patterns in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) written production. Data were elicited by means of a paper and pencil task from sixteen school learners at three different times over a time span of 6 years. Studies in the area of Second Language Writing (SLW) have mainly focused on English as a second language and very few longitudinal studies have been carried out with low proficiency learners in a school context. To further contribute to the field, we have tried out a new measure of analysis, namely, the production of syntactic patterns. The results show that most learners produce both a wider variety and a higher number of patterns from one time to another, although statistically significant differences vary across patterns in relation to the times of data collection; secondly, it was found that the behaviour of two of the learners differed from that of the rest of the participants. It is concluded that in an instructional setting, the development of syntactic patterns in EFL writing as proficiency increases does not always show progression towards complexity and that it may be learner dependent. Keywords: English as a foreign language; individual variation; syntactic patterns; Second Language Writing 1.

  • Multilingual Writers Across the Curriculum
    Emory University, March 2016 Cox 1 Multilingual Writers across the Curriculum Michelle Cox, Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines, Cornell University [email protected] When you ultimately succeed in writing is when you have your own accent. When I speak, my accent reflects who I am and where I come from. Well, I want my writing to reflect me in that way. -- Tonka, student from Bulgaria (Zawacki & Habib, 2010) ESL students can become very fluent writers of English, but they may never become indistinguishable from a native speaker, and it is unclear why they should. A current movement among ESL writing teachers is to argue that, beyond a certain level of proficiency in English writing, it is not the students’ texts that need to change; rather it is the native-speaking readers and evaluators (particularly in educational institutions) that need to learn to read more broadly, with a more cosmopolitan, less parochial eye. The infusion of life brought by these ESL students’ different perspectives on the world can only benefit a pluralistic society which is courageous enough truly to embrace its definition of itself. --Ilona Leki, Understanding ESL Writers: A Guide for Teachers (pp. 132-133) Contents: Second Language Writing Processes (page 2) Characteristics of “ESL-Ready” Courses (pages 3-4) Sample Syllabus Statement (page 5) References (pages 5-8) Useful Resources on Multilingual Writing (pages 8-11) Emory University, March 2016 Cox 2 Second Language Writing Processes1 Invention Revision Editing What this Reading and note-taking,

Kraft* INTRODUCTION In the past several decades, the number of English-as-a-second-language (ESL) speakers attending law schools as part of J.D. and LL.M. programs has increased dramatically.1 While some of these students are fluent in English, many are not yet able to read, write, and speak English, or understand spoken English, at the advanced level required for successful graduate work in law. The language problems are sometimes grammatical, sometimes cultural, and often both.2 For those students who are required to complete a writing course as part of their graduate program, deficiencies in writing ability can be a difficult obstacle to overcome.3 For the legal writing professionals teaching those courses, the challenges of teaching * Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs Associate Professor of Legal Research and Writing, University of Kentucky College of Law; B.A. University of Wisconsin; M.A. Indiana University; J.D.

Reading an ESL Writer's Text* Paul Kei Matsuda and Michelle Cox In this chapter, we discuss the part of a writing center conference that is at the center of the conferencing process-the reading of the writer's draft. Although the process of reading may be the least visible part of the conference, it is one of the most important because it is during this process that tutors begin to for- mulate their initial responses to the text. In many cases, reading texts written by English as a second language (ESL) writers is not radically different from reading those written by native English-speaking (NES) writers; tutors can use many of the same principles and strategies they use in reading NES texts. Yet, because ESL writers often come from different linguistic, cultural, and educa- tional backgrounds, some aspects of ESL writers' texts may stand out, espe- cially to the eyes of native English speakers who do not have extensive back- ground in working with ESL writers. Some of the initial reactions to ESL writers' texts may be quite positive.
