Abstract:

This study had a research purpose and a pedagogical purpose. Research
disclosed the dynamic, changing nature of (learner-internal and
learner-external) variables that influence strategic competence for developing
EFL/ESL writers. This competence was found necessary for international
graduate students to move from writer-centered learning to reader-centered
communication. The research instruments proved to be practical tools for
guiding learners' processes of learning and writing a scholarly paper or
article and avoiding plagiarism. The implication for teachers and program
administrators is a systematic approach for developing self-regulation
(control) in EFL/ESL writing. The first part of the book reports on the mixed
methods (quantitative and qualitative) research. The second part gives an
in-depth report of the 6 cases used in the research. The third part presents
tools for systematically developing self-regulation in scholarly (and
academic) writing with (a) student and teacher checklists for formative
assessment that are valid and reliable; and (b) a model syllabus for teachers
that can be adapted across disciplines and genres. These tools deal with
learning strategies and their applications to writing and writing instruction.
