Using a case study design, the researchers explored the experiences of three novice writers with no prior exposure to PSs, as the students applied to a university-sponsored grants competition that required them to produce the genre. Drawing upon metacognition theory, the researchers investigated (1) students’ metacognitive genre awareness of the PS prior to composing, along with (2) the challenges that students faced when attempting to compose the genre for the first time. Special attention is paid to comparing the similarities/differences among the L1 and L2 writers. Data for the study included semi-structured interviews, multimodal visualizations, and stimulated recalls. The findings show shared areas of metacognitive genre awareness among the case study participants, in addition to multiple differences between L1 and L2 writers. Despite such differences, all students struggled with aspects of procedural knowledge when composing the occluded genre, encountering similar challenges. Implications are discussed for writing researchers and practitioners, including the potential of multimodal visualizations as a tool for tapping into learners’ metacognition and genre awareness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Writing","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 101042"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49409505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of these students, referred to as heritage language (HL) learners, use linguistic forms and practices that are often stigmatized in academic communities for purportedly being “incorrect” or “inappropriate.” The current investigation explores whether a group of Spanish high school teachers (<em>n</em> = 48) perceives some of the lexical items HL learners produce as “errors” and examines the type of written corrective feedback (CF) that they provide. Their CF on target items was coded as indirect, direct, or metalinguistic, and their metalinguistic CF was further coded as eradication-oriented, appropriateness-oriented, or expansion-oriented. The most common CF types in our results were direct and metalinguistic, and the metalinguistic CF offered was classified primarily as eradication-oriented. Our discussion centers around what is generally deemed “erroneous” in HL learners’ productions, and hence a trigger for written CF, and how a critical reconceptualization of the construct of “error” eliciting this CF may help educators more effectively advance a critical language awareness pedagogy, thereby promoting self-reflection, social justice, and rhetorical agency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Writing","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 100989"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45081440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While abundant research has examined essay performance features in relation to proficiency scores, our understanding of the nature of L2 argumentation and the impact of source use on argumentation quality remains relatively limited. This short communication investigates how source use characteristics were manifested in 300 argumentative writing performances of an integrated writing test. The essays were coded and analyzed in terms of integration style, interpretation accuracy, and integration purpose along with their argumentation effectiveness, operationalized as argument structure and reasoning quality. The results showed that while source use characteristics did not show a direct relationship with score level, certain features displayed systematic differences across levels of argumentation effectiveness, which are significantly related to writing scores. The findings suggest a potential complex, indirect relationship between source use, argumentation, and writing proficiency that warrants a more thorough analysis in L2 writing research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Writing","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101003"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41749521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
