This title contains a description of psycholinguistic research being conducted internationally on better understanding second language (L2) writing. Such accounts are based on an experimental research tradition arising from recent progress made in methodology, technology and theory in both native and second language writing. There have been a number of recent volumes on the educational aspects of teaching a foreign or second language. However, there are relatively few published studies specifically geared to better understanding L2 writing and how it relates to L1 writing research in the psycholinguistic tradition. This tradition combines converging evidence from psychological experiments, case studies, linguistic interviews, field studies, correlation and other structural analyses of individual differences. The goal of all of these sources of evidence is to describe, predict, and ultimately explain L2 writing.
