Abstract

This paper examines how research in second language acquisition has approached the study of cognitive individual differences in the process and product of L2 writing from a theoretical and empirical perspective, paying special attention to the three empirical studies included in this special issue. The paper is divided into three sections. The first section examines the cognitive abilities that have been investigated in L2 writing research, among which working memory stands out as the most widely studied. The second section synthesizes the findings reported by the empirical studies in this issue in relation to the role of working memory in L2 writing behaviors and outcomes. The last section suggests future lines of research that can broaden the current scope of research on writing and cognitive individual differences, mostly centered on the components of the working memory system. This research has important theoretical implications, as little is known about how different cognitive individual differences are implicated in writing, as well as pedagogical implications, as the findings can inform about optimal performance and learning conditions for learners with diverse cognitive ability profiles.
二语写作过程和产物中的认知个体差异
本文从理论和实证的角度考察了第二语言习得研究如何看待二语写作过程和产物中的认知个体差异研究,并特别关注本期特刊中的三项实证研究。本文分为三个部分。第一部分考察了二语写作研究中的认知能力,其中工作记忆是研究最广泛的。第二部分综合了本期实证研究中关于工作记忆在二语写作行为和结果中的作用的研究结果。最后一节提出了未来的研究方向,可以拓宽目前对写作和认知个体差异的研究范围,主要集中在工作记忆系统的组成部分。这项研究具有重要的理论意义,因为人们对不同的认知个体差异如何与写作以及教学意义知之甚少,因为研究结果可以为具有不同认知能力的学习者提供最佳表现和学习条件。

期刊介绍: Studies in Second Language Acquisition is a refereed journal of international scope devoted to the scientific discussion of acquisition or use of non-native and heritage languages. Each volume (five issues) contains research articles of either a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods nature in addition to essays on current theoretical matters. Other rubrics include shorter articles such as Replication Studies, Critical Commentaries, and Research Reports.
