Abstract:

First Language versus Foreign Language deals with the «battle» that takes
place in writers’ heads when writing in a foreign language. Most academics
today need to write in another language than in their first language (L1) in
order to publish in internationally recognized journals. However, as writing
research has shown, writing in a foreign language (FL) presents difficulties.
The study compares L1 and FL writing, analysing written texts and the writing
processes in terms of fluency, errors and revision. It takes a closer look at
the «battle» between the L1 and the FL and offers useful insight. The findings
allow a glimpse at the processes that take place in the brain, calling for new
didactic approaches to FL writing.
