About this ebook

This book presents Keystroke Logging as a powerful methodological tool for investigating writers’ revision processes in writing. The volume demonstrates the ways in which Keystroke Logging can be used to observe, record, and analyse writing revisions in real time, especially useful given the growing use of computer-facilitated academic writing.

Drawing on an integrated approach implementing both real-time observation and immediate stimulated recall, Anbreen seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice by bringing together theoretical understandings of writing revisions with practical applications of Keystroke Logging. The work makes the case for the use of Keystroke Logging in computer-based writing research to better elucidate the cognitive processes L2 writers engage in during the revision process.

This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and relevant stakeholders in applied linguistics, second language writing, academic writing, language learning and teaching, and educational technology.
