• Kawaguchi Yusaku

抄録

The writing process, which seems to relate to writers' writing proficiency and quality of written products, has been one of the most important concepts in second language (L2) writing research. This article deals with the relationship between the L2 writing process and writing proficiency/evaluation, focusing on the keystroke logging approach. The paper reviews previous studies regarding the relationship between process and evaluation and summarizes the features of high-proficiency writers' writing process that these studies have pointed out. Also, it discusses the advantages of two kinds of method frequently employed in L2 writing process research: self-reported methods (i.e., verbal protocol, questionnaire) and behavioral methods (i.e., keystroke logging) used in these studies. It introduces an application for recording writers' writing process using the keystroke logging technique. Then, it presents studies on the relationship between writing process and proficiency/evaluation using that application and suggest the possibility of using the patterns of change in numbers of words over time. Through the discussion, some directions and implications for future writing process research are elucidated, including revisiting indices concerning the writing process. Finally, the paper discusses how to design a writing process corpus, considering task conditions referring to the previous attempt to build a writing process corpus.
