Written Language Studies Across Culture

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

The goal of this symposium is twofold. First it highlights some generalizable features of writing research across the world and languages. Second, it brings together writing researchers to discuss replicable and effective methodologies involved. In doing so, six papers explore the generalizable phenomena and analyses related to writing research. To do so, it features important scholars from US, China, HongKong, and Korea who represent different scientific paradigms (e.g., learning science, measurement and assessment, educational practitioners), and inquiry methods (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, ethnographic). These researchers have the common goal of understanding how best we as educational researchers should do to understand the features of writing process and product including that concerning language-specific effects, and thus enhancing the learners’ written language abilities.
