This book is the first edited volume to compile up-to-date scholarship that discusses frontier knowledge on second language (L2) collaborative writing (CW) and highlights technology-mediated solutions to it. The volume consists of conceptual papers and empirical studies that explore theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical approaches to CW in face-to-face, online, and hybrid learning contexts. The ten chapters of the book are divided into three sections: (1) theoretical perspectives and a methodological review of CW; (2) empirical research addressing the processes, products, and effects pertaining to CW; (3) pedagogical aspects relevant to CW, namely task design, technology use, and assessment. By examining the implementation of various CW tasks across modes, genres, and L2 learning settings, this book re-evaluates the practices of CW and illustrates how diverse forms of CW can facilitate students’ L2 learning and writing development.

Whereas collaborative writing is an established approach to second language (L2) education, the use of this approach in the L2 classroom has now been bolstered by the ubiquity of digital tools. Sociocultural theory (SCT) and activity theory (AT), both frameworks that inform digital collaborative writing, conceptualize writing as a holistic activity in which several key elements interact dynamically, including participants, tools, and outcomes. This chapter explores the value of knowledge sharing, meaning negotiation, scaffolding, mediation, intersubjectivity, and action completion – all pivotal tenets in collaborative writing – through these frameworks. It also illustrates critical issues (e.g., knowledge co-construction and interaction) and concludes by acknowledging unexplored areas of research and instructional practices that could further advance digital collaborative writing.

Collaborative writing (CW) presents unique L2 learning opportunities. While previous research primarily used cognitive and social approaches, the current chapter proposes a metacognitive approach to (1) advance our understanding of how CW supports L2 learning, and (2) explore pedagogical ideas that may further enhance CW effectiveness, that is, metacognitive instruction on CW. Three CW features relevant to both face-to-face and technology-mediated communication will be focused on. First, collaborative interaction – a prerequisite for CW to be effective – can be explained by metacognitive theories. Second, the provision and incorporation of feedback may be related to learners’ metacognition. Third, the CW sequence – planning what to write, drafting a text, and editing the text together – closely corresponds to metacognitive regulatory skills, that is, planning, monitoring, and evaluation.

In this chapter, we synthesize the methodological approaches, research techniques, analytic frameworks, and research practices in existing collaborative writing (CW) empirical research. We start with an overview of both the predominant and emerging research techniques in existing CW literature, and then examine how the four major components of face-to-face and computer-mediated collaborative writing have been analyzed in prior research: peer interaction, revisions, patterns of collaboration, and written products. In reviewing the various analytic frameworks, we identify possible ways in which they may complement each other. Lastly, we review the research practices in this area, noting aspects in need of further consideration. We conclude this chapter by discussing noticeable methodological patterns and calling for more methodological discussion in this domain.

This study examines the influence of task repetition (TR) and pretask focus on form instruction (FFI) on written collaborative production. Eighty-five low-proficiency EFL children carried out a dictogloss task twice: one targeting the 3rd person singular present “‑s”, and the other aiming at the possessive determiners “his/her”. Participants were divided into three different conditions: individual, collaborative, and pretask FFI + collaborative. Their written output was analyzed for complexity and accuracy, and overall text quality was gauged with an analytic rubric. The results did not reveal an advantage for the collaborative groups over the individuals. However, TR and collaboration increased grammatical accuracy while pretask FFI appeared to foster more accurate use of the target forms. Pedagogical and research implications are discussed.

Grounded in research on task-based and collaborative L2 writing, this quasi-experimental study examined the impact of collaborative processing of instructor feedback during the revision process. Forty-six intermediate learners of German in two intact classes at a U.S. university completed two written summary tasks, producing a draft and a revision for each, following feedback from the instructor in-between. The two groups processed this feedback individually and collaboratively, in a counterbalanced design. All texts were analyzed for syntactic complexity, accuracy, fluency, and lexical sophistication (i.e., lexical accuracy, choice, richness). The results indicate that processing the instructor’s feedback collaboratively with a peer primarily improved the lexical domain, whereas the revision process itself led to improvements on all linguistic features in diverse ways. The results offer implications for research, methodology and pedagogy.

Despite growing interest in computer-mediated collaborative writing (CMCW), very few studies have considered the effects of using a range of digital tools on learners’ behaviour. Our longitudinal study (15 weeks), conducted with Arabic as a second language learners in Saudi Arabia, investigated how learners engage in CMCW tasks using Google Docs and WhatsApp. The 31 participants formed eight dyads and five triads to complete four tasks. We analysed discussions and comments derived from Google docs and WhatsApp chats for patterns of interaction and use of online tools. Of five patterns of interaction identified, cooperative and collaborative predominated. Learners used the two tools simultaneously to foster collaboration. The findings provide new insights into CMCW tasks in an underexplored L2 learning context.

This study examined the patterns and focus of peer interaction in collaborative L2 writing across text-based synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC and ACMC). Participants comprised 22 college EFL learners, who completed two Google-Docs-based collaborative expository writing tasks via text-based SCMC or text-based ACMC. Google Docs comments and history were analyzed. The predominant interaction pattern in text-based SCMC was expert/novice, followed by the collaborative pattern. In text-based ACMC, dominant/dominant, dominant/passive, and dominant/withdrawn were the predominant patterns. During peer interaction, learners focused on content and language rather than on organization, regardless of modality. In text-based SCMC, learners focused equally on language and content. In text-based ACMC, learners focused more on language than on content.

Prior chapters of this volume have focused on issues surrounding collaborative writing’s (CW) theoretical motivations, features of studies’ designs, and trends among findings. This chapter shifts readers’ attention to the different types of CW tasks and activities that have been adopted in the published literature. First, the author summarizes commonly employed tasks across both face-to-face and computer-mediated communication modalities (e.g., story/narrative tasks). Second, the most frequently adopted CW activities in face-to-face classrooms (e.g., dictogloss), followed by those writing tasks often used in computer-mediated communication instructional modalities (e.g., expository tasks) are examined. In this section, the increasing use of multimodal writing activities is also discussed. The chapter closes with a series of recommendations for implementing different CW tasks and activities.

This chapter provides a brief overview of current technologies for collaborative writing. We begin by sharing the distinctive features of three commonly used platforms in computer-mediated collaborative writing (i.e., Google Docs, wikis, and Etherpad) which have been found to offer L2 learners a safe space to freely work (Ware & Warschauer, 2006) and promote co-authorship and collaboration (Li & Storch, 2017). Next, in line with the increasing implementation of digital multimodal writing tasks, we present another set of multimedia tools (i.e., Canva infographics and Plot storyboards) which allow L2 users to incorporate multimodal publishing and collaboration during L2 writing practices (Krauss, 2012; Maamuujav et. al., 2019). We conclude with pedagogical recommendations for instructors who intend to use any of these tools.

Over the past two decades, we have witnessed the widespread use of collaborative writing tasks in second language classes driven in part by advances in technology. These advances have led to noticeable changes in the design and implementation of these tasks as well as their inclusion in assessed classwork. However, assessing collaborative writing is challenging because it requires assessors to consider what aspects of the construct of collaborative writing (product, process, nature of collaboration) should be included in the assessment criteria, and how these aspects can be reliably assessed. In this chapter we discuss these challenges, consider some suggestions on how to assess collaborative writing, and the pedagogical implications of assessing collaborative writing. We conclude by outlining future research directions.

task-based L2 writing
01
Grounded in research on task-based and collaborative L2 writing, this quasi-experimental study examined the impact of collaborative processing of instructor feedback during the revision process. Forty-six intermediate learners of German in two intact classes at a U.S. university completed two written summary tasks, producing a draft and a revision for each, following feedback from the instructor in-between. The two groups processed this feedback individually and collaboratively, in a counterbalanced design. All texts were analyzed for syntactic complexity, accuracy, fluency, and lexical sophistication (i.e., lexical accuracy, choice, richness). The results indicate that processing the instructor’s feedback collaboratively with a peer primarily improved the lexical domain, whereas the revision process itself led to improvements on all linguistic features in diverse ways. The results offer implications for research, methodology and pedagogy.

Despite growing interest in computer-mediated collaborative writing (CMCW), very few studies have considered the effects of using a range of digital tools on learners’ behaviour. Our longitudinal study (15 weeks), conducted with Arabic as a second language learners in Saudi Arabia, investigated how learners engage in CMCW tasks using Google Docs and WhatsApp. The 31 participants formed eight dyads and five triads to complete four tasks. We analysed discussions and comments derived from Google docs and WhatsApp chats for patterns of interaction and use of online tools. Of five patterns of interaction identified, cooperative and collaborative predominated. Learners used the two tools simultaneously to foster collaboration. The findings provide new insights into CMCW tasks in an underexplored L2 learning context.

This study examined the patterns and focus of peer interaction in collaborative L2 writing across text-based synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC and ACMC). Participants comprised 22 college EFL learners, who completed two Google-Docs-based collaborative expository writing tasks via text-based SCMC or text-based ACMC. Google Docs comments and history were analyzed. The predominant interaction pattern in text-based SCMC was expert/novice, followed by the collaborative pattern. In text-based ACMC, dominant/dominant, dominant/passive, and dominant/withdrawn were the predominant patterns. During peer interaction, learners focused on content and language rather than on organization, regardless of modality. In text-based SCMC, learners focused equally on language and content. In text-based ACMC, learners focused more on language than on content.

Prior chapters of this volume have focused on issues surrounding collaborative writing’s (CW) theoretical motivations, features of studies’ designs, and trends among findings. This chapter shifts readers’ attention to the different types of CW tasks and activities that have been adopted in the published literature. First, the author summarizes commonly employed tasks across both face-to-face and computer-mediated communication modalities (e.g., story/narrative tasks). Second, the most frequently adopted CW activities in face-to-face classrooms (e.g., dictogloss), followed by those writing tasks often used in computer-mediated communication instructional modalities (e.g., expository tasks) are examined. In this section, the increasing use of multimodal writing activities is also discussed. The chapter closes with a series of recommendations for implementing different CW tasks and activities.

This chapter provides a brief overview of current technologies for collaborative writing. We begin by sharing the distinctive features of three commonly used platforms in computer-mediated collaborative writing (i.e., Google Docs, wikis, and Etherpad) which have been found to offer L2 learners a safe space to freely work (Ware & Warschauer, 2006) and promote co-authorship and collaboration (Li & Storch, 2017). Next, in line with the increasing implementation of digital multimodal writing tasks, we present another set of multimedia tools (i.e., Canva infographics and Plot storyboards) which allow L2 users to incorporate multimodal publishing and collaboration during L2 writing practices (Krauss, 2012; Maamuujav et. al., 2019). We conclude with pedagogical recommendations for instructors who intend to use any of these tools.

Over the past two decades, we have witnessed the widespread use of collaborative writing tasks in second language classes driven in part by advances in technology. These advances have led to noticeable changes in the design and implementation of these tasks as well as their inclusion in assessed classwork. However, assessing collaborative writing is challenging because it requires assessors to consider what aspects of the construct of collaborative writing (product, process, nature of collaboration) should be included in the assessment criteria, and how these aspects can be reliably assessed. In this chapter we discuss these challenges, consider some suggestions on how to assess collaborative writing, and the pedagogical implications of assessing collaborative writing. We conclude by outlining future research directions.

This book is the first edited volume to compile up-to-date scholarship that discusses frontier knowledge on second language (L2) collaborative writing (CW) and highlights technology-mediated solutions to it. The volume consists of conceptual papers and empirical studies that explore theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical approaches to CW in face-to-face, online, and hybrid learning contexts. The ten chapters of the book are divided into three sections: (1) theoretical perspectives and a methodological review of CW; (2) empirical research addressing the processes, products, and effects pertaining to CW; (3) pedagogical aspects relevant to CW, namely task design, technology use, and assessment. By examining the implementation of various CW tasks across modes, genres, and L2 learning settings, this book re-evaluates the practices of CW and illustrates how diverse forms of CW can facilitate students’ L2 learning and writing development.

Whereas collaborative writing is an established approach to second language (L2) education, the use of this approach in the L2 classroom has now been bolstered by the ubiquity of digital tools. Sociocultural theory (SCT) and activity theory (AT), both frameworks that inform digital collaborative writing, conceptualize writing as a holistic activity in which several key elements interact dynamically, including participants, tools, and outcomes. This chapter explores the value of knowledge sharing, meaning negotiation, scaffolding, mediation, intersubjectivity, and action completion – all pivotal tenets in collaborative writing – through these frameworks. It also illustrates critical issues (e.g., knowledge co-construction and interaction) and concludes by acknowledging unexplored areas of research and instructional practices that could further advance digital collaborative writing.

Collaborative writing (CW) presents unique L2 learning opportunities. While previous research primarily used cognitive and social approaches, the current chapter proposes a metacognitive approach to (1) advance our understanding of how CW supports L2 learning, and (2) explore pedagogical ideas that may further enhance CW effectiveness, that is, metacognitive instruction on CW. Three CW features relevant to both face-to-face and technology-mediated communication will be focused on. First, collaborative interaction – a prerequisite for CW to be effective – can be explained by metacognitive theories. Second, the provision and incorporation of feedback may be related to learners’ metacognition. Third, the CW sequence – planning what to write, drafting a text, and editing the text together – closely corresponds to metacognitive regulatory skills, that is, planning, monitoring, and evaluation.

In this chapter, we synthesize the methodological approaches, research techniques, analytic frameworks, and research practices in existing collaborative writing (CW) empirical research. We start with an overview of both the predominant and emerging research techniques in existing CW literature, and then examine how the four major components of face-to-face and computer-mediated collaborative writing have been analyzed in prior research: peer interaction, revisions, patterns of collaboration, and written products. In reviewing the various analytic frameworks, we identify possible ways in which they may complement each other. Lastly, we review the research practices in this area, noting aspects in need of further consideration. We conclude this chapter by discussing noticeable methodological patterns and calling for more methodological discussion in this domain.

This study examines the influence of task repetition (TR) and pretask focus on form instruction (FFI) on written collaborative production. Eighty-five low-proficiency EFL children carried out a dictogloss task twice: one targeting the 3rd person singular present “‑s”, and the other aiming at the possessive determiners “his/her”. Participants were divided into three different conditions: individual, collaborative, and pretask FFI + collaborative. Their written output was analyzed for complexity and accuracy, and overall text quality was gauged with an analytic rubric. The results did not reveal an advantage for the collaborative groups over the individuals. However, TR and collaboration increased grammatical accuracy while pretask FFI appeared to foster more accurate use of the target forms. Pedagogical and research implications are discussed.

Next, in line with the increasing implementation of digital multimodal writing tasks, we present another set of multimedia tools (i.e., Canva infographics and Plot storyboards) which allow L2 users to incorporate multimodal publishing and collaboration during L2 writing practices (Krauss, 2012; Maamuujav et. al., 2019). We conclude with pedagogical recommendations for instructors who intend to use any of these tools.
