| Summary: | In the digital age, new technologies have revolutionized the ways we communicate and construct knowledge, and have also reshaped the traditional notions of writing and literacy, posing new challenges and opportunities for L2 teachers and students. This book provides up-to-date coverage of the main areas of L2 writing and technology, including digital multimodal composing, computer-mediated collaborative writing, online teacher and peer feedback, automated writing evaluation, and corpus-based writing instruction. It synthesizes the relevant literature, analyzes theoretical perspectives, compiles relevant resources, and offers research and pedagogical recommendations to guide scholars in undertaking new L2 writing research and instructional practice in technologically-supported educational contexts. This book will be of relevance and interest to researchers, language teachers, and graduate students in applied linguistics and education. “This informative monograph makes a much-needed contribution to L2 writing scholarship, advancing the field toward a comprehensive understanding of the nature of L2 writing in the digital age. Written in a clear and cogent style, the book provides valuable insights for L2 writing researchers and practitioners across different contexts from around the world.” -Icy Lee, The Chinese University of Hong Kong “This book is a very welcome and timely addition to the field of L2 writing. It discusses in a clear and accessible manner how rapidly changing technologies have impacted L2 writing practices. It promises to be an invaluable resource for L2 writing scholars wishing to understand and take advantage of the teaching and research opportunities created by these new technologies.” ---Neomy Storch, University of Melbourne, Australia This book presents a comprehensive approach to issues related to researching and teaching second language (L2) writing in digital environments.
