Abstract:

Digital L2 Writing Literacies offers an up-to-date overview of digital writing
in L2 contexts and illustrates how digital media have expanded the options for
research and teaching language and writing in particular. Written by two of
the leading educators and researchers in the field, this volume offers a
comprehensive review of the literature along with cutting-edge theoretical
perspectives on multilingual and multimodal composing for those conducting
research and practical ideas for curriculum and instruction for those working
with multilingual students in second language, foreign language, and heritage
language classrooms. As an up-to-date review of research and practice, the
book will also be of value to researchers and graduate students in areas of
study involving writing, language teaching and learning, and digital media.

The main chapters provide the necessary background of definitions, key
research findings and descriptions of practices, along with detailed sample
learning projects and ideas for reflection and discussion that those involved
in L2 writing should find interesting and relevant. The authors begin with a
wide-ranging review of digital tools and environments and how these are
influencing communicative practices and written genres. They address how those
tools and environments encourage interactive and collaborative writing in
online environments, present innovative multimodal forms of composing such as
digital storytelling, and provide new avenues and modes for expression of
multilingual writer voice and identity. They further discuss how feedback,
revision, and assessment practices for L2 writing must change to reflect the
changing processes and products of digital composing. At the end of the book,
the authors provide a model of theoretical and pedagogical factors that impact
digital L2 writing and include a future-oriented discussion of L2 writing and
digital practices in the 21st century, making for a stimulating set of
implications and take-away messages to ponder.

As the most comprehensive and current state-of-the-art treatment of its
subject matter, Digital L2 Writing Literacies: Directions for Classroom
Practice is simply the must-read book for all those with an interest in L2
digital writing and language teaching.
