Abstract

Considering the undeniable importance of examining the role of domain- and skill-specific individual difference factors in second-language (L2) writing research, this study examined the possible roles of English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) learners’ ideal L2 writing self and growth L2 writing mindset in their L2 writing grit, which may in turn contribute to their L2 writing achievement (WA). Data were collected from 532 English-major students selected via convenience sampling by administering a questionnaire to measure their growth L2 writing mindset, ideal L2 writing self, and L2 writing grit. The International English-Language Testing System (IELTS) academic writing tasks 1 and 2 were used as measures of the learners’ L2 WA. The psychometric properties of the scales were investigated and verified through confirmatory factor analyses. Structural equation modeling (SEM) results revealed that ideal L2 writing self and L2 writing grit directly predicted L2 WA. Additionally, growth L2 writing mindset and ideal L2 writing self predicted L2 WA through the mediation of L2 writing grit. This study highlighted the importance of domain- and skill-specific individual difference factors in L2 WA and the vital necessity of considering them in L2 writing instruction.

探讨理想的 L2 写作自我、成长型 L2 写作心态和 L2 写作砂砾在 EFL 学习者 L2 写作成就中的作用
考虑到在第二语言(L2)写作研究中考察特定领域和技能的个体差异因素的重要性,本研究考察了英语作为外语(EFL)学习者的理想L2写作自我和成长型L2写作心态对其L2写作勇气的可能作用,这反过来又可能有助于他们的L2写作成就(WA)。本研究通过问卷调查的方式收集了532名英语专业学生的数据。国际英语语言测试系统(IELTS)学术写作任务 1 和 2 被用来测量学习者的 L2 WA。通过确认性因子分析,研究并验证了量表的心理计量特性。结构方程建模(SEM)结果显示,理想的第二语言写作自我和第二语言写作砂砾直接预测第二语言写作能力。此外,成长型 L2 写作心态和理想的 L2 写作自我通过 L2 写作勇气的中介作用预测 L2 WA。本研究强调了特定领域和技能的个体差异因素在 L2 WA 中的重要性,以及在 L2 写作教学中考虑这些因素的必要性。
