Welcome
Welcome to SSLW 2016
Welcome to the 15th Symposium on Second Language Writing and welcome (back) to Arizona State
University!
The Symposium on Second Language Writing started in 1998 in order to build a sense of community
among second language writing specialists by bringing together second language writing researchers and
teachers to discuss key issues and future directions. To stimulate the conversation about the field, we
invited internationally recognized experts in the field of second language writing. Back then, identifying
experts was not particularly challenging because second language writing was still a relatively small
field with only a handful of specialists who regularly contributed new knowledge about second
language writing and writers. Since then, the field has grown considerably, and there are many
researchers and teachers from various philosophical, methodological and sociocultural contexts who
take part in this knowledge enterprise.
With the growing size of the field and the diversity of orientations, defining expertise has become more
challenging. What constitutes expertise in the field of second language writing? What do second language writing experts need to know and be able to do? Who can claim to be experts? Does being an
expert require the knowledge of all aspects of second language writing? Or is having a small subset of
knowledge and skill sufficient? What about those whose ideas are not situated in the ongoing
conversation in the field? Where is the boundary between experts and non-experts? How do we know?
How do we communicate expertise to others? This year’s theme, Expertise in Second Language Writing,
highlights the need to explore and articulate what it means to have expertise in the field of second language writing.
Expertise in second language writing is sometimes conceptualized as a binary—either you are an expert
or you are not. In reality, there are different types and degrees of expertise that are needed depending on
the context and roles—writing center tutors, teachers, teacher educators, program administrators,
researchers, research mentors, editors, reviewers. Different instructional contexts also require different
sets of expertise. As the field of second language writing matures and continues to grow as a community
of experts, it is important to move toward a shared understanding of what knowledge and skills are
needed for various roles we play in various contexts, and to develop a mechanism for developing and
recognizing those expertise.
Once again, this year’s symposium—featuring Alister Cuming and Diane Belcher, two of the original
experts from 1998, as plenary speakers—brings together second language writing researchers and
teachers from around the world. Together, we will explore the nature of expertise in second language
writing and to move toward a shared understanding of what knowledge and skills are needed in order to
function as second language writing experts in various contexts.
I hope you find this iteration of SSLW stimulating.

year’s symposium includes the following session formats: Plenary talks, colloquia, papers, roundtables,
institutes and reflections.
• Plenary talks. Plenary talks are scheduled at the beginning and at the end of the three-day event.
The speakers, Alister Cumming and Diane Belcher, are two of the original “experts” from the
first SSLW in 1998.
• Colloquia. There are two kinds of colloquia: invited and proposed. Invited colloquia are special
sessions that address key issues related to the theme from various perspectives. Proposed
colloquia are groups of papers that address a coherent theme from different perspectives.
• Papers. Papers are 30-minute presentations on any topic related to second language writing.
• Roundtables. Roundtable sessions are 20-minute informal presentations for the purpose of
generating discussion or getting feedback on preliminary or work-in-progress work.
• Institute Workshops. Second Language Writing Institute, open to all SSLW 2016 participants,
provides workshops that help the participants develop expertise in various aspects of second language writing. The seats are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
• Reflections. A reflection session at the end of each day provides an opportunity for sharing your
thoughts about expertise in second language writing as well as other key issues that emerged
during sessions and informal conversations.

Opening Plenary
A Jack(al) of All Trades? Expertise in Studies of SLW
Alister Cumming, University of Toronto, Canada
Thursday, October 20, 09:30-10:30, Arizona (Opening Plenary)
Studies of second-language writing (SLW) have become increasingly sophisticated, focused, multi-faceted,
and comprehensive. Correspondingly, demands have increased in the expertise required to conduct, publish,
and interpret research in SLW, and to do so systematically, rigorously, and intelligently. Scholars of SLW
need to know, identify, and analyze key issues in the practices and policies of teaching and learning SLW, of
course, to acknowledge how they have been investigated previously, and to approach them in ways that will
make a difference for others. Scholars of SLW also need to appreciate and investigate how these issues occur:
locally as well as internationally; for populations of different ages and societal statuses; across different
multiple language combinations; from theoretical perspectives related to psychology, linguistics, socioanthropology, and education; and using methods of qualitative and quantitative research appropriately and
judiciously. Are all of these areas of expertise necessary to be able to produce research insights into SLW that
are credible, innovative, significant, and useful? In turn, what do readers or users of research about SLW need
to know in order to be able to interpret such research critically and sensibly? What constitutes the relevant
knowledge, skills, and purposes to do and act on studies of SLW? Should a scholar of SLW strive to act like a
jack of all trades, but risk being a master of none? Or should a scholar of SLW act like a jackal that roams
cleverly, alone or in packs, in a few choice territories? I will propose relevant criteria to answer these
questions, review some notable research innovations in SLW, and suggest certain directions for future
inquiry and professional development.

Symposium on Second Language Writing 2016
Closing Plenary
On Becoming Enablers and
Assessors of Multimodal Composing
Diane D. Belcher, Georgia State University, USA
Saturday, October 22, 16:00-17:00, Turquoise (Closing Plenary)
While decades of theory and research have encouraged a view of writing as integrally linked with reading and,
less obviously, with oral communication, only more recently has writing been conceived of as part of a much
larger technology-enhanced semiotic toolkit. L2 writers in particular have been seen as especially likely to
benefit from such a digitally-enriched multimodal view of writing, and hence from guided use of the wealth
of resources—audio and visual, graphic and video—now available for their composing processes. Few
instructors or teacher-educators, however, have themselves been taught how to navigate, not to mention
serve as guides to, composing in a digital environment. This presentation will discuss issues critical to
considerations of how to become and effectively be a facilitator of multimodal composing and what forms
assessment of such complex creative student work could take.
More specifically, drawing on theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical work reported on in both L1 and L2
literature relevant to facilitating new media composing, a number of questions, such as the following, will be
explored: To what extent should the L2 writing class become a site of support for basic digital literacy
acquisition for those still disadvantaged by the digital divide? Should instructors learn to leverage
multimodality as a motivator for L2 literacy acquisition? How can students be guided in use of existing and
developing print and multimodal literacies as mutually supportive scaffolds of each other? Should
multimodal resources be used to enhance and critically problematize genre awareness and acquisition, and if
so, how? Should writing assignments be designed to enable students to see multimodality as an ever-present
means of expanding their composing repertoires, and again, if so, how? What heuristics already exist to guide
teacher and peer development of rubrics for multimodal-ensembles, which, in turn, could guide collaborative
creative processes and assessment of outcomes? And finally, how should teachers, as well as writing programs
and multiliteracy centers, be assessed (or should they?) in their ability to foster student awareness of and
facility with multimodal resources?

Thursday, October 20
A.3.1 Thursday, October 20, 11:00-11:30, Gold (Paper)
How Second Language Acquisition Theories Can Improve Writing Tutor Training
Molly Rentscher, Arizona State University, United States
Empirical data reveals that writing tutors struggle with balancing attention to both local and global writing
errors in tutoring sessions with L2 writers. This presentation demonstrates how writing center administrators
can develop tutors’ expertise in second language acquisition theories. Tutors can then apply this knowledge
to better serve L2 writers.
A.3.2 Thursday, October 20, 11:30-12:00, Gold (Paper)
Facilitating Conversations Between Writing Tutors and L2 Writers: Using the Tutoring Cycle as a Guide
Lisa Cahill, Arizona State University, United States
This presentation will describe how MacDonald’s (2000) tutoring cycle can be used to train writing tutors to
engage L2 writers in analyses of their writing decisions, writing strengths, and possible revisions. The
presenter will discuss how these conversations between tutors and L2 writers can result in richer discussions
of writing.
A.4.1 Thursday, October 20, 11:00-11:30, Gila (Paper)
Frameworks for Success after Failure: A Study of L2 Writers
Sei Lee, University of California, Irvine, United States
Based on interviews with 104 L2 students who have previously failed an academic writing course, this
presentation revisits the Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing. The presentation recommends
foregrounding strategies to achieve success by strategically undoing failure for students such as these while
also proactively avoiding failure for future students.
A.4.2 Thursday, October 20, 11:30-12:00, Gila (Paper)
Crossing the Great Divide: Encouraging Practitioner-Researcher Dialogue
Margi Wald, University of California, Berkeley, United States
This roundtable discussion focuses on the need and venues for more interaction between researchers and
practitioners in general—so that we can share our expertise. Participants will brainstorm ideas and create
action plans for increasing communication.
A.5.1 Thursday, October 20, 11:00-11:30, Graham (Paper)
Syntactic Complexity in L2 Writing: A Diversity Dimension
Ji-Hyun Park, Michigan State University, United States
The present study proposes a new measure of syntactic complexity that taps into the diversity dimension of
the construct. The study investigates L2 writers’ use of syntactic structure patterns from the verb-argument
construction (VAC) perspective. The frequency and distribution of VACs are examined based on the
findings in usage-based approaches to grammar.
A.5.2 Thursday, October 20, 11:30-12:00, Graham (Paper)
Syntactic Complexity, Lexical Complexity, and their Relationship to One Another: A Large-scale Analysis of
L2 Writers’ Essays
Mark Johnson, East Carolina University, United States
Responding to calls to examine a range of complexity measures (Norris & Ortega, 2009), this study examined
18 indices of lexical and syntactic complexity in 1,258 L2 essays. The results indicated consistent patterns of
co-variance among nine measures, suggesting support for the developmental sequence noted in Norris and
Ortega (2009).

A.6.1 Thursday, October 20, 11:00-11:30, Yuma (Paper)
Attitudes toward Dynamic Written Corrective Feedback in Developmental Writing
Kendon Kurzer, University of California, Davis, United States
While research has indicated that Dynamic Written Corrective Feedback (DWCF) helps L2 writers improve
their written grammatical accuracy, no research thus far has investigated student or teacher attitudes toward
DWCF in their classes. This presentation reports on the attitudinal results of a study investigating DWCF
with 350 total student participants.
A.6.2 Thursday, October 20, 11:30-12:00, Yuma (Paper)
“You’re the expert!”: Multilingual tutors in practice
Aurora Aguirre, The University of Texas at San Antonio, United States
The purpose of this study was to explore the practices of multilingual tutors with multilingual writers. Nine
sessions were analyzed with a special focus on the participants’ rejection and acceptance of the tutor’s expert
status in language, writing, or the content area.
A.7.1 Thursday, October 20, 11:00-11:30, Yavapai (Paper)
Flipping the Switch: Prioritizing Global over Local Concerns in L2 Writing
Kelly Chase, Arizona State University, United States
Learn how tutors can ‘flip the switch’ and focus on content in L2 writing. Sentence-level errors in L2 writing
can be distracting, but this presentation will demonstrate why a narrow focus on grammar—even if these
concerns are a barrier to a reader’s understanding—is a disservice to L2 students.
A.7.2 Thursday, October 20, 11:30-12:00, Yavapai (Paper)
Expert-like use of hedges and boosters in research articles written by Polish and English native-speaker
writers
Katarzyna Hryniuk, Warsaw University, Poland
The present study compares the use of hedges and boosters in a corpus of 40 research articles from the area
of applied linguistics, written by native English speakers and Polish writers. The author used a concordance
program WordSmith Tools. It has important implications for developing writing for publication in EFL.
A.8.1 Thursday, October 20, 11:00-11:30, Pinal (Paper)

Session B
B.1 Thursday, October 20, 13:30-15:00, Arizona (Invited Colloquium)
Developing Expertise: Using Student L1 Knowledge in the Teaching of L2 Writing
Kay Losey, Grand Valley State University, United States (Chair and Presenter)
Lilian Mina, Auburn University at Montgomery, United States
Pisarn Bee Chamcharatsri, University of New Mexico, United States
Margi Wald, University of California, Berkeley, United States
Gail Shuck, Boise State University, United States
This colloquium invites second language writing experts with experience teaching, researching, and/or
directing in writing programs at the college and university level to discuss ways that students’ previous language and rhetorical experiences have been used in their classes or their programs to benefit students’ second
language writing development. What curricular and classroom practices, supported by research in our
discipline, call on students to use their wealth of language expertise? And what potential issues does writing
in a language other than English in school raise for multilingual students? Finally, it also addresses how these
practices have been shared with and received by colleagues in their home programs.
Lilian will share an integrative pedagogical model that makes use of multilingual students’ knowledge of
multiple languages and digital practices. She will discuss the model and its implications for teaching writing.
Bee will argue that L2 students should be allowed to use L1s with their L1-speaking peers in providing
detailed feedback on their drafts. Margi will outline an assignment used in FYC and tutor-training courses
encouraging students to synthesize text and images incorporating different dialects, languages, and registers.
Gail will describe a public, multilingual-student conference on language and identity as a mechanism not
only for building a network of L2 writing experts but also for rethinking her own previous ideas about the
complexity of multilingual identity in an English-dominant institution. Kay’s presentation provides an
overview of findings teachers and administrators should keep in mind when considering assignments and
activities that encourage or require code-switching.
After short presentations by panelists, the colloquium will offer time a for a robust discussion of these issues
between participants and attendees.

Developing expertise in a reading/writing/speaking approach to L2 writing
Diane Belcher, Georgia State University, United States
Although it is not at all uncommon for intensive English programs (IEPs) to take an “integrated skills”
approach, in theory blending all linguistic modalities, in their teaching of language, such an approach is, not
surprisingly, less common in writing programs. In fact, even in many IEPs that claim to take this integrated
approach, writing is often still conceptualized as a mainly stand-alone solitary process. What would it take to
persuade language and writing professionals to think of and effectively teach writing as inherently, optimally,
and indeed necessarily connected with reading and speaking? This workshop will present theory- and
research-based rationales for mindful linking of writing with reading and speaking, and will analyze activities
informed by pedagogical strategies for seamlessly making such connections with and without the help of
digital technology.
B.3.1 Thursday, October 20, 13:30-14:00, Gold (Paper)
Syntactic processing changed after written CF
Su Li, AUT University, New Zealand
Empirical studies on the L2 learning potential of written CF have mainly focused on output sometimes
without consistent results. Focusing on a learner whose score remained zero at the end of a quasi-experiment,
this case study reveals her syntactic processing has changed after the written CF in the quasi-experiment.
B.3.2 Thursday, October 20, 14:00-14:30, Gold (Paper)

Conventions and Contexts: Genre Awareness Through Reading-into-Writing
Ann M. Johns, San Diego State University, United States
Though discussions of genre teaching are plentiful in the current literature (See, e.g., Bawarshi & Reiff, 2010;
Hyland, 2016; Johns, 2015), there is still concern about how texts from a genre introduced into a classroom
can be seen as more “authentic” in terms of the contexts in which they are processed, produced, and received.
Influenced by English for Specific Purposes and Rhetorical Genre Studies approaches, this workshop is
designed to assist teachers to enhance students’ rhetorical flexibility, that is, their openness to the variety of
texts possible within or beyond a genre, as students consider a text’s both “repeated” and “social” nature (see
Miller, 1986/94). Participants will first define “genre.” Then, using two exemplars from the same genre
produced for different contexts, they will practice rhetorical flexibility enhancement and preparation for
writing through the following: Comparison/contrast of two genre exemplars for both their repeated features
(conventions) and their variation when produced for different situations; Prediction of text reception by
targeted audiences; Prompt analysis, based on the genre exemplars, leading to text production; Text
processing decisions, e.g., planning and revision, drawing from the above activities.

How do international PhD students negotiate expectations on their writing assignments?
Yoo Young Ahn, Indiana University, United States
Not many studies in second language writing have examined how international graduate students deal with
the issue of audience in academic writings. Considering its importance, the present study is to address how
the professor represents implicit but crucial evaluation standards in her instruction and feedback to realize
their intentions. In addition, five students’ interviews were collected to compare discrepancies in
expectations to assignment and professors’ feedback and to provide implications for both sides.

Does Expertise in Reading Make You a Better Writer?
Nadia Moraglio, University of Arizona, United States
Angelina Serratos, University of Arizona, United States
This project is based on our experience in team-teaching reading and writing classes for a group of highintermediate students in an IEP program. Despite the agreement among research that reading helps writing,
our project suggests that in an ESL context a better reader might not necessarily be a better writer.

Time-constrained free writing promotes writing proficiency and motivation.
Doreen Ewert, University of San Francisco, United States
Free-writing for idea generation is a well-known practice in process-oriented composition classrooms, but it
is seldom implemented on a regular basis with time constraints to build writing fluency in general. Evidence
from an analysis of SL student fluency-based freewriting suggests that the practice contributes to additional
aspects of writing proficiency

abbreviations will be outlined for: sampling and describing populations, reporting descriptive statistics
(frequencies, central tendencies, and dispersion); distinguishing between and using non-parametric and
inferential statistics; establishing reliability of instruments, evaluations, and coding; making comparisons
(probability, statistical significance, and effect sizes), and presenting graphical representations. Please expect
only a cursory review in an hour and a half as each of these topics could constitute a full university course
(and they often do in Measurement programs). Follow-up resources will be suggested.

Relationship-Building Through Embodied Feedback: Teacher-Student Alignment in Writing Conferences
Elena Shvidko, Purdue University, United States
The discusses oral response to writing as a relational and embodied activity, constructed moment-tomoment through teacher’s relational moves. By analyzing students’ responses to these moves and comparing
the episodes of alignment and disalignment, the author argues that oral feedback is not only an instructional
but also a relationship-building activity.

Spotlight on YouTube: Using short video clips as ideal writing prompts
Vicki Holmes, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, United States
Meagan Madariaga-Hopkins, University of Nevada, Las Vega, United States
Jessica Cline, University of Nevada, Las Vega, United States
YouTube videos engage learners. These clips are impactful, often humorous, trendy, multi-dimensional and
abundantly available. They appeal to students, and they make excellent writing prompts for evolving writers.
Because they are indexed, YouTube video clips can be accessed and sorted through easily. Teachers can convert them to writing prompts with little effort, matching the prompt to the writing purpose of the moment.
This demonstration will share a teacher-project which used short clips from YouTube and YouTube’s
“Screening Room” to generate longer and more robust pieces of student writing. Student writing and interviews about their writing will be shared.

Intercultural Rhetoric Revisited: the Case of L2 Arab Writers
Ghada Gherwash, Colby College, United States
Using life history interviews, this presentation discusses new data that problematizes previous IR scholarship
regarding Arab writers. Mainly that their L2 texts are highly influenced by classical Arabic. Findings suggest
that Classical Arabic is an unlikely source of transfer, due to Arab writers’ limited socialization in that form
of Arabic.

On Becoming Enablers and Assessors of Multimodal Composing
Diane D. Belcher, Georgia State University, USA
While decades of theory and research have encouraged a view of writing as integrally linked with reading
and, less obviously, with oral communication, only more recently has writing been conceived of as part of a
much larger technology-enhanced semiotic toolkit. L2 writers in particular have been seen as especially likely
to benefit from such a digitally-enriched multimodal view of writing, and hence from guided use of the
wealth of resources—audio and visual, graphic and video—now available for their composing processes. Few
instructors or teacher-educators, however, have themselves been taught how to navigate, not to mention
serve as guides to, composing in a digital environment. This presentation will discuss issues critical to
considerations of how to become and effectively be a facilitator of multimodal composing and what forms
assessment of such complex creative student work could take.
More specifically, drawing on theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical work reported on in both L1 and L2
literature relevant to facilitating new media composing, a number of questions, such as the following, will be
explored: To what extent should the L2 writing class become a site of support for basic digital literacy
acquisition for those still disadvantaged by the digital divide? Should instructors learn to leverage
multimodality as a motivator for L2 literacy acquisition? How can students be guided in use of existing and
developing print and multimodal literacies as mutually supportive scaffolds of each other? Should multimodal resources be used to enhance and critically problematize genre awareness and acquisition, and if so,
how? Should writing assignments be designed to enable students to see multimodality as an ever-present
means of expanding their composing repertoires, and again, if so, how? What heuristics already exist to guide
teacher and peer development of rubrics for multimodal-ensembles, which, in turn, could guide collaborative
creative processes and assessment of outcomes? And finally, how should teachers, as well as writing programs
and multiliteracy centers, be assessed (or should they?) in their ability to foster student awareness of and
facility with multimodal resources?
