The present study extends this line of inquiry by examining whether interaction with multimodal presentations would bring about enhanced alignment effect in the reading-writing continuation task. Participants were three groups of Chinese senior English as a foreign language (EFL) learners who were exposed to each of the three input modalities: text modality, text+picture modality and text+video modality. Results showed that 1) text+video modality brought about stronger alignment at both linguistic and situational levels, more accurate and cohesive writing production; 2) text+picture modality only magnified alignment at situation models; 3) learners varied their perceptions towards the incorporation of pictorial and video input. Pedagogical implications of the study were thereafter discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Writing","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 101060"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49885829","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}

We reviewed relevant research published in English-medium academic journals within the recent two decades (2003–2022) in an attempt to demystify the concept of discoursal scholarly identity and its construction in research writing practices. This literature review identified three main streams of research that focus respectively on (1) the manifestation of a discoursal scholarly identity in academic written discourse, (2) the reconstruction of such an identity by readers, and (3) the construction of such an identity in and through social practices. Key conceptions and features of discoursal scholarly identity as discursively constructed, dialogically negotiated, and dynamic also emerged from such synthesis of literature. We end by identifying and discussing areas for future research on the construction of a discoursal scholarly identity in research writing practices, and the means to inform novice writers, especially L2 writers, of the proper manifestation and negotiation of such an identity in research writing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Writing","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 101052"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41916698","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}

Students represent different reading levels and seventeen speak languages other than English. We report that students drew on the models but added ideational, interpersonal, and textual meanings of their own. We then analyze the interpersonal meanings that project students’ own voices, characterizing these voices as expansive or contractive and relating them to the argument tasks. We also discuss language choices that realize less formal registers. The study contributes to debates about models by demonstrating how the constraints and choices presented enabled students to meet disciplinary demands while bringing their own voices to their writing. We discuss implications for the use of models and for how students’ voices are valued and highlight methodological contributions to the analysis of voice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Writing","volume":"61 ","pages":"Article 101043"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48841227","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}

Twenty-six young students learning English as a foreign language participated in extensive reading as an additional activity after school for a month (ER group), and their syntactic development was inspected by analyzing 14 syntactic complexity and six syntactic sophistication indices in the students’ book reports written preceding and following the reading activity. This group’s performance in writing was compared with that of another group of students who did not participate in the reading activity (Comparison group). Results of analyses for syntactic complexity showed that the ER group significantly improved in the length of sentence, the number of clauses, the number of coordination, and the number of verb phrases. This group also improved in syntactic sophistication by using less frequent verbs and less frequent verb-construction combinations in writing after the reading activity. In contrast, the comparison group showed improvements only in the length of sentence.
