Abstract

As current computer-mediated communication (CMC) research is omnipresent in the foreign/second language (L2) writing process, a synthesis of the research in this realm is needed to better understand and inform the current pedagogical practices with technology in language classrooms. This article presents a review of 38 studies identifying the major characteristics of CMC use in L2 writing process and aspects of L2 writing where CMC is embedded. The findings indicate that a variety of CMC-embedded L2 writing tasks were mainly integrated in the drafting and revising/editing stages of writing. Also, there has been a clear shift in recent years from blogs and wikis to other CMC tools, such as Google Docs, Facebook, Skype, and instant messaging. Also, existing CMC research on the L2 writing process mainly focuses on improvement in L2 writing ability/production, complexity/accuracy/fluency (CAF) measures, interactivity in L2 writing, and learners' editing/revision strategies. Finally, this review discusses pedagogical implications and offers suggestions for future research on CMC and L2 writing.

第二语言写作过程中的计算机媒介交流
由于当前计算机媒介交流(CMC)研究在外语/第二语言(L2)写作过程中无处不在,因此需要对这一领域的研究进行综合,以便更好地理解和告知语言课堂中当前的技术教学实践。本文回顾了38项研究,确定了二语写作过程中使用CMC的主要特征,以及二语写作中嵌入CMC的方面。研究结果表明,各种嵌入cmc的第二语言写作任务主要集成在写作的起草和修改/编辑阶段。此外,近年来,从博客和wiki向其他CMC工具(如Google Docs、Facebook、Skype和即时消息)的转变也很明显。此外,现有CMC对二语写作过程的研究主要集中在二语写作能力/产出、复杂性/准确性/流畅性(CAF)指标的提高、二语写作的互动性以及学习者的编辑/修改策略。最后,本文讨论了CMC和二语写作的教学意义,并对未来的研究提出了建议。
