摘要

击键日志提供了可观察的书写过程的全面记录。先前的研究检查了执行实验性写作任务的年轻L1英语作家的击键日志,发现了写作过程的特征,可以预测反应的质量。相反,关于二语写作过程的动态和时间性质的大规模研究很少,特别是在评估设置中。本研究利用成人英语作为外语(EFL)学习者对评估任务的键盘记录来检验过程特征在这种新背景下的有用性。我们评估了稳定性方面的特征,探索了它们之间相关性的因素结构,并构建了预测响应质量的模型。结果表明,大多数工艺特征是稳定的,它们之间的相关性可以用五因子结构有效地表示。此外,我们观察到响应质量预测在基线上提高了48%。这些发现对评估和理解写作过程特征以及在评估条件下对写作过程的实质性理解具有启示意义。

Evaluating Writing Process Features in an Adult EFL Writing Assessment Context: A Keystroke Logging Study
ABSTRACT Keystroke logs provide a comprehensive record of observable writing processes. Previous studies examining the keystroke logs of young L1 English writers performing experimental writing tasks have identified writing processes features predictive of the quality of responses. Contrarily, large-scale studies on the dynamic and temporal nature of L2 writing process are scarce, especially in an assessment setting. This study utilized the keystroke logs of adult English as a foreign language (EFL) learners responding to assessment tasks to examine the usefulness of the process features in this new context. We evaluated the features in terms of stability, explored factor structures for their correlations, and constructed models to predict response quality. The results showed that most of the process features were stable and that their correlations could be efficiently represented with a five-factor structure. Moreover, we observed improved response quality prediction over a baseline by up to 48%. These findings have implications for the evaluation and understanding of writing process features and for the substantive understanding of writing processes under assessment conditions.
