20210820T143020210820T1800Europe/AmsterdamS197 2/2 | Writing processes: Strategies from idea to text
Until quite recently studies of writing in real-life contexts have focused largely on the final product of the writing process- the written texts. Research on writing processes has, on the other hand, mainly taken place in experimental settings- perhaps because of a certain dominance of experimental psychology within the field, but also due to the need of theoretical and methodological development in a relatively novel research area. However, during recent years, writing process research has come to include not only experimental studies but widened its scope to various social contexts and writing tools. Linguistic studies of writing processes (e.g. idea generation, formulating, reading and revision) and their relation to the final texts by means of real-time recordings, such as keystroke-logging or screen recordings, and/or ethnographic studies, can increase our understanding of the communicative activities and strategies that writers in different contexts engage in during text production, not only on the word or sentence levels, but also on a discourse level. Hence they can contribute to further our knowledge about the relation between various writing strategies and text characteristics, but also about applications such as writing instruction or professional writing. In this symposium we welcome all proposals related to ongoing real-time writing processes that are not necessarily visible in the final written texts.
To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.

Writing processes and undergraduate student writers in the UK contextView Abstract Watch Recording 0FeaturedAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/20 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/20 16:00:00 UTC
Keystroke logging methods offer important insights to writing processes and writing behaviours. This talk reports on results from keystroke-based studies of university student writing which captures some of the features of their writing processes and outlines an agenda for future work on student digital writing.

Writing in a non-alphabetic language on a computer: L2 proficiency, real-time writing processes and text quality in L2 ChineseView Abstract Watch Recording 0StandardAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/20 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/20 16:00:00 UTC
This study investigates the extent to which writers' second language (L2) proficiency affects the emergence of real-time writing behaviours (captured by the keystroke logging program) and the relationship between behaviours and text quality. Different from previous writing studies, this study was conducted with L2 writers of the non-alphabetic Chinese language.
Write Without Stopping: Using Inputlog to Evaluate a Cognitive Model of FreewritingView Abstract Watch Recording 0Standard02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/20 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/20 16:00:00 UTC
Freewriting is a drafting strategy used to help writers get ideas out onto the page. In this mixed-methods study, keyboard logging data is collected while participants freewrite. I use Inputlog and other data to explore the question: Does freewriting do what we think it does?""

Cognitive processes in second language writing: Exploring the relationship among cognitive resources, writing processes, and written productsView Abstract Watch Recording 0StandardAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/20 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/20 16:00:00 UTC
This study examines the relationship among cognitive resources, writing processes, and written products in second language writing. Findings indicate interactions between cognitive resources (attention and literacy-related resources) and writing processes (pausing behavior) when producing better essays, and indirect effects of working memory on written products via literacy-related resources.

This paper explores moments of improvisation in creative writing workshops with 11-12 year old children by using ethnographic fieldnotes, audio recordings, creative texts, and research interviews to consider the coming together of the material, affective, social, modal, cultural, and environmental elements on which writing activity is provisionally situated.

Negotiations on the Scientific Writing: a Literacy Trajectory in a Brazilian High SchoolView Abstract Watch Recording 0FocusedAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/20 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/20 16:00:00 UTC
We seek to recognize aspects of academic writing constructed dialogically by a Brazilian high school students and their advisors. We analyze orientation sessions and text editing versions produced on a digital platform. Academic writing in this context is constituted from the construction of the image of an interlocutor.
This paper reports on an ongoing longitudinal case study of university students completing their programs in multiple languages at a large bilingual university. Screen capture recordings are analyzed to document students’ plurilingual writing processes, strategies, and resources. Implications focus on insights for biliteracy development and plurilingual writing instruction.

Writing together: how writing processes’ management enhances plurilingual competences. A case study at the end of the primary school.View Abstract Watch Recording 0FocusedAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/20 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/20 16:00:00 UTC
An educational project on writing processes in Italian English and German at the final stage of two primary school classes (fifth grade) in South Tyrol (Italy), should lead to the growth of plurilingual competences. Moving from socio-cultural, interactionist and meta-cognitive perspectives proper didactic solutions to this end are experimented.
