First Language versus Foreign Language: Fluency, Errors and Revision Processes in Foreign Language Academic Writing

by Esther Odilia Breuer

The book discusses the battle taking place in writers' heads when writing in a foreign language. It looks at written texts and the writing process in terms of fluency, errors and revision processes, comparing L1 and FL writing. The findings allow an insight into the processes going on in the brain and call for new didactic approaches to FL writing.
