Full Description
This volume examines how second language learners develop effective writing skills through self-regulated learning by focusing on four key dimensions of writing strategies: cognitive, metacognitive, motivational-regulation, and social behavior.
Drawing on research from diverse global and regional second language contexts, the book presents a comprehensive, multidimensional framework explaining how learners regulate their writing processes and how developing writing proficiency supports strategic learning. It establishes fundamental theoretical foundations, analyzes the impact of each strategy type, explores the reciprocal relationships between strategies, and illuminates how these interconnections evolve over time. The book also bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering educators practical strategies to foster strategic development in student writers.
This volume will be valuable for researchers, students, and practitioners in the fields of second language acquisition and writing pedagogy.
