    Affordances and limitations when using Inputlog to study young learners’ pausing behavior in L2 writing
    (John Benjamins Publishing, 2023-10-23) Garcés-Manzanera, Aitor; Manchón Ruíz, Rosa M.; Criado, Raquel; Didáctica de la Lengua y la Literatura
    This chapter focuses on methodological considerations in a study in which keystroke-logging data was used for the analysis of young English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ pausing behavior while writing in their L2. We first present the rationale behind the study and subsequently discuss methodological considerations in the operationalization of the construct of pausing behavior, challenges and problems related to data analysis, and solutions adopted. In the final part, we suggest directions for further research.

    Desarrollo de la escritura en un contexto multicultural. Una investigación etnográfica
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2006-07-01) Arroyo González, Rosario
    In this article, it is presented a part of a research carried out in a multicultural educational context where english language predominates. The main goal of this research was to describe the teaching processes of development of the written composition, for that it has been applied the methodology of case study. However this article is focused, especially, on the description of contextual variables, such as a) the students and teachers interaction, b) the supports stuff, c) the written tasks, d) the teacher orientation, and e) the learning environment.This article offers a methodological process of research and some technician-teaching conclusions about the development in written composition, but the main interest is in the fact that it want to be an object of intercultural reflection giving answer to two basic questions: how are the essentials social environmental elements that characterize the teaching processes, applied in the writing learning in a multicultural contexts? What answer does the interaction offer to the intercultural education challenges?

    Descripción de procesos en la composición escrita de estudiantes universitarios para un desarrollo multilingüe y tecnológico.
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) González, Rosario Arroyo
    The purpose of this investigation is to describe the cognitive-linguistic, metacognitve-affective, and socio-cultural processes involved in written composition of university students. These processes are universally applied by expert writers in any language, thus may be considered developmental processes in the multilingual writer. Furthermore, these processes are essential in technological communication. A methodological design was used in this study, in which written cognitive interviews were conducted with a sample of 86 university students. The Method of Content Analysis allowed the application of a categorization system which operatively defined the written processes expressed by students. In terms of frequency, the results showed that university students display a certain degree of procedural, affective and socio-cultural writing competence, and that there is a need for specific programmes which foster professional and scientific use of written composition stressing the importance of conditional processes.

    Individual differences and L2 writing: Expanding SLA research
    (Cambridge University Press, 2023) Manchón, Rosa M.; Sanz, Cristina; Filología Inglesa
    This special issue Working memory and L2 writing: Implications for SLA individual differences research seeks not only to expand theory and research on IDs and L2 writing but also to position L2 writing more centrally in SLA debates on IDs in general and WM studies in particular. To this end, the special issue features theoretical reflections on the development of L2 writing IDs research and its connection with global SLA IDs theoretical, methodological, and empirical preoccupations together with a set of novel empirical studies on the role of WM in L2 writing processes and products

    Language reflection fostered by individual L2 writing tasks. Developing a theoretically motivated and empirically based coding scheme
    (2019-08-02) López Serrano, Sonia; Roca de Larios, Julio; Manchón, Rosa M.; Filología Inglesa
    There has been a growing interest in the study of writing from the perspective of its potential contribution to language development. However, scant attention has been paid to key methodological considerations regarding the analysis of the connection between L2 writing processes, reflection on language while writing, and language learning. In an attempt to advance in this domain, and informed by models of L2 writing, and cognitive L2 writing research framed in the problem-solving paradigm, this study provides a comprehensive description of the language reflection individual writers engage in when solving the linguistic problems they face while completing writing tasks in their L2. The think-aloud protocols generated by 21 EFL learners while writing an individual argumentative essay were analyzed on the basis of a reconceptualization of language-related episodes as problem-solving strategy clusters. The result is a comprehensive, theoretically motivated, and empirically based coding system that is offered as a basis for future research in the domain. We discuss the methodological implications of our analytic approach and advance some theoretical implications for future debates on the language learning potential of individual writing tasks.

    Writing and Language Learning: Advancing Research Agendas.
    (2020) Manchón, Rosa M.; Filología Inglesa
    The central aim of this book was to add to previous research on the connection between writing and language learning from a dual perspective: It sought to reflect current progress in the domain as well as to foster future developments in theory and research. The theoretical postulations contained in Part I identify and expand in novel ways the diverse lenses through which the varied, multi-faceted dimensions of the connection between writing and language learning can be explored. The methodological reflections put forward in Part III signal theoretically-grounded and pedagogically-relevant paths along which future empirical work can grow. The empirical studies reported in Part II illuminate the myriad of individual, educational, and task-related variables that (may) mediate short-term and long-term language learning outcomes. These studies examine diverse forms of writing, performed in varied environments (including pen-and-paper and digital writing), conditions (writing individually and/or collaboratively), and instructional settings (academic settings – including secondary school and college level institutions – as well as out-of-school contexts).
