Guest Editors: Steve Graham, Xinghua Liu, and Sergio Leiva
Writing is an essential skills for success in the world today. Students who do not develop strong writing skills are at a disadvantage educationally, occupationally, and socially. Too often research focuses only on writing instruction with students who are learning to write in school in their native language (L1).
The current special issue addresses this issue by sharing research on the teaching of writing that is more balanced in the types of language learners included in investigations. While it includes a few studies focused on L1 writers, most of the studies also concentrate on L2 writers (students learning to write in the language of the school, which is not their native language) and foreign language writing (students learning a foreign language and how to write in it).
This collection is not open for new submissions. All authors have been notified of their invitation to submit.
