Synopsis

What implications do computer-based writing technologies have for the way we write, what we understand writing to be and how we teach it, in particular to students learning to write in a second language? whichThis collection of articles from teachers and researchers of second language writing in HE in Britain and Canada offers an overview of the wide variety of issues of computers in supporting the writing process. It includes case studies of innovative approaches to teaching L2 writing integ rate computer-based tools, such as word processors and conferencing. It also presents software to support writing skills, from traditional grammar and vocabulary support, to more experimental tools to help teachers organize feedback on writing. While the two target languages covered are French adn EFL - particular focus is given to English for academic purposes - the issues discussed should be of interest to university teachers of writing skills in any second langauge.
