Sasaki, Miyuki; Hirose, Keiko
Language Learning, v46 n1 p137-74 Mar 1996
Investigates factors influencing Japanese university students' expository writing in English. Quantitative analysis revealed that students' second-language (L2) proficiency, first-language writing ability, and metaknowledge were significant in explaining L2 writing ability variance. An explanatory model for writing ability in English as a Foreign Language is proposed. (58 references) (Author/CK)
