Symposium on Second Language Writing 2017

Welcome to SSLW 2017 Welcome to the 16th Symposium on Second Language Writing (SSLW)! This year, SSLW is hosted by the Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University. One of the most prestigious universities in Thailand and Southeast Asia, Chulalongkorn University (aka Chula) is located at the heart of Bangkok and Southeast Asia. Writing has become an important concern among language teachers and researchers in Asia because of the widespread interest in integrating English into all levels of education and because of the importance of literacy in academic work—both for students and faculty. By bringing the Symposium here, we hope to stimulate the conversation about L2 writing and writing instruction in Thailand and in ASEAN countries. This year’s SSLW highlights the importance of assessing L2 writing. Although assessment plays an important role in L2 writing research and instruction, it is sometimes seen as a concern for specialists rather than something all teachers and researchers should understand and engage with. By focusing on this theme, we seeks to promote a field-wide conversation about issues related to assessment, including (but certainly not limited to) these questions: • • • • • •

What do teachers need to know about assessment? How can we get students to see beyond the test? How can teachers use assessment to facilitate learning rather than merely teach to the test? What does a reasonable and realistic assessment look like for students at various levels and circumstances? What should L2 writing assessment look like in light of the global spread and diversification of languages, their uses and users? How should L2 writing researchers assess writing in ways that facilitate comparative analysis of findings across studies?

More broadly, this theme highlights the importance of assessing the field of second language writing as well as teachers and researchers as we continue to grow as a field and as L2 writing professionals. We will explore these and many other important topics by featuring internationally known experts in L2 writing assessment—Liz Hamp-Lyons, Sara Cushing and Deborah Crusan—and by bringing together local and international teachers and researchers of language, writing and assessment with various areas of expertise. Let the conversations begin! Paul Kei Matsuda, Founding Chair Symposium on Second Language Writing

Keynote and Plenary Speakers Local Plenary

Self-assessment as a tool to improve writing assessment Suchada Nimmannit Rangsit English Language Institute, Thailand Friday, June 30, 9:15–10:15, Lecture Hall (101)

Writing in a second language can be extremely challenging as students not only need to conceptualize and organize ideas before writing and editing. Self-assessment has increasingly been used to help students check their writing to see if it has met the criteria required by the teacher, Moreover, selfassessment helps students identify their strength and weakness, thus improving their writing. This presentation reports an in-progress study in which self-assessment has been applied to the students in the first year English class. The presenter will discuss the process from the teacher’s scaffolding writing and self-assessment rubric to the submission of the assignments. Suchada Nimmannit is an associate professor and Director of Rangsit English Language Institute. Prior to that, she taught business communication, presentation and TESOL methodology at Chulalongkorn University Language Institute where she served as Deputy Director for International Affairs, Chair of Business English Program, Director of Academic Services for State Departments. Suchada taught and designed two webinar courses for the US-Thai sponsored Lower Mekhong Initiatives, English Support (2011-2013). She served as President of Thailand TESOL (2000–2003) and member of TESOL International’s Board of Directors (2004–2007). In 2016, she has been honored by TESOL as one of the 50th international professionals who have contributed to the field of TESOL. Suchada's interest is in using technology to enhance students' learning.

Symposium on Second Language Writing 2017 Keynote

Writing assessment through time and space Liz Hamp-Lyons University of Bedfordshire, UK Friday, June 30, 10:45-11:45, Lecture Hall (101)

Writing has been formally assessed for several thousand years, and yet there remains a great distance to travel if a goal is to achieve some sort of consensus about the characteristics and behaviours that represent ‘good writing assessment’. In this talk I identify several key issues which have endured over time and across distances. The ‘distances’ I refer to are partly literal but also metaphorical, referring not only to the differing traditions and beliefs about how writing should and can be assessed in different regions of the world, but also to differing beliefs and values among those who make the assessment of learners’ written texts and writing performances their profession. The concept of ‘time’ is also more than literal: it is also cultural. Nations at various developmental stages of what is broadly called ‘nationhood’ will prioritize different academic disciplines during different times of their growth. A nation building a cohesive set of communal values will likely prioritize government and political matters, while a nation that is settled within its own core values may reach out further to find new ideas and intellectual disciplines that resonate with its settled beliefs. All this may sound both vague and daunting: but the intent is that the talk will also be concrete and practical, highlighting some enduring key issues as well as identifying some of the differences we should be attentive to at this ‘time’ and in this ‘space’. Liz Hamp-Lyons is a Visiting Professor in the Centre for Research in English Language Learning and Assessment (CRELLA) at the University of Bedfordshire, UK, Honorary Professor in Language and Education at the Open University of Hong Kong, and Guest Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where she is the senior academic consultant to the College English Test (CET). Her research interests include development and validation of English language performance (i.e. writing and speaking) assessments, assessment for academic and specific purposes, assessment for learning, learning-oriented language assessment and language teacher assessment literacy. She was founding Editor of the Journal of English for Academic Purposes and Editor 2002-2015, and is Editor of Assessing Writing.

Keynote and Plenary Speakers Plenary

A new apologia for the timed impromptu writing test Sara Cushing Georgia State University, USA Saturday, July 1, 8:45-9:45, Lecture Hall (101)

In 1995, Edward White wrote that the timed impromptu writing test was “under attack from all sides as formulaic, unresponsive to the nature of writing, and destructive to the curriculum” (p. 30). Despite numerous critiques of timed impromptu writing, this form of writing assessment is still frequent in classroom and large-scale assessment alike. In this talk I will discuss the history of the timed impromptu essay from the perspectives of composition teaching and second language assessment, placing second language writing assessment at the intersection of these two disciplines. Important considerations in deciding whether and when writing should be assessed through a timed impromptu test include considerations of reliability, validity, practicality, and impact (i.e., consequences to students, teachers, and other stakeholders), and, most importantly, test purpose. Following Manchon's (2011) distinction of learning-to-write and writing-to-learn language, I distinguish between assessing writing and assessing language through writing, focusing in particular on the implications of this distinction for justifying the use of timed impromptu writing vis-à-vis its alternatives for four main test purposes: proficiency, placement, achievement, and diagnosis. I also discuss the implications of the distinction between assessing writing and assessing language through writing for task design and scoring methods, including the computer scoring of writing. Sara Cushing is Professor of Applied Linguistics at Georgia State University. She received her Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics from UCLA. She has published research in the areas of assessment, second language writing, and teacher education, and is the author of Assessing Writing (2002, Cambridge University Press). She has been invited to speak and conduct workshops on second language writing assessment throughout the world, most recently in Norway, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Thailand. Her current research focuses on assessing integrated skills and the use of automated scoring for second language writing.

Symposium on Second Language Writing 2017 Plenary

Writing assessment: Do we practice what we preach? Deborah Crusan Wright State University, USA Sunday, July 2, 8:45-9:45, Lecture Hall (101)

Assessing student writing represents a large share of second language writing teachers’ workloads and is considered by some to be one of the most daunting of teacher tasks. Good assessment practices, while not always formally taught to prospective English language teachers, are essential to the teaching of second language writing. Teachers may have received instruction in giving feedback to students, but they also need guidance in assessment involving scoring, grading, and making ethically and pedagogically sound judgments about student work. In short, teachers need to understand the fundamentals of writing assessment – to be cognizant of writing assessment practices. This knowledge of writing assessment has been termed writing assessment literacy and refers to what teachers know, believe, and practice regarding writing assessment. In this plenary session, I will discuss the results of a survey regarding writing assessment literacy that examined the following questions: • • •

How do second language writing teachers obtain assessment knowledge? What do second language writing teachers believe about writing assessment? What are the assessment practices of second language writing teachers? (Crusan, Plakans, & Gebril, 2016).

In the past, I have consistently argued for the inclusion of assessment training in teacher education courses. This talk focuses on the idea that few teachers are prepared to assess the writing their students do. The results of the study point to the need for better preparation of teachers in MATESOL and ESL certification programs to be effective assessors of writing. I will provide suggestions and strategies for doing so. Crusan, D., Plakans, L., & Gebril, A. (2016).

Symposium on Second Language Writing 2017 A.2.1 Friday, June 30, 12:30–13:00, Room 2 (4th Floor) Awareness of writing assessment of Thai university instructors in Thailand (Paper) Bee Chamcharatsri, Suthathip Thirakunkovit and Pornpimol Sukavatee Due to limited research on the awareness of Thai university instructors on writing assessment, this paper aims to present the initial findings based on survey data and interviews we have collected. We argue that the instructors need to have better understandings and preparations in assessing students' writing. A.2.2 Friday, June 30, 13:00–13:30, Room 2 (4th Floor) Assessing EFL Writers' Pragmatic Competence through Metaphor Analysis: An Investigation of GEPT Writing Tests (Paper) Yi-Chen Chen Being able to use figurative language appropriately to suit communicative purposes is regarded a display of pragmatic competence. However, such competence is rarely mentioned as defining levels of language proficiency. The study investigates 442 Taiwanese learners' writings of General English Proficiency Test to add proper description of figurative language use. A.2.3 Friday, June 30, 13:30–14:00, Room 2 (4th Floor) Teachers' accountability to English language learners in a time of high-stakes assessment (Paper) Shannon Pella and Betsy Gilliland Teachers have a dual challenge of instructing their school-age multilingual students in academic language and grade-level literacy, while simultaneously preparing them for success on high-stakes assessments. A genre-centered approach with an emphasis on the functional language of texts engages learners in text analysis while supporting real-world writing and test preparation. A.3.1 Friday, June 30, 12:30–13:00, Room 3 (4th Floor) The development of L2 writing complexity during study abroad: A meta-analysis (Paper) Yiran Xu The results of 15 studies were identified, systematically coded, and meta-analyzed. Modest gains in L2 writing complexity during SA were identified: d = 0.34. L2 Proficiency, the length of stay, and language pledges were found to moderate writing complexity development in SA contexts. Practical and methodological implications are discussed. A.3.2 Friday, June 30, 13:00–13:30, Room 3 (4th Floor) A Meta-analysis of Rater Background Effects on Writing Performance Assessment (Paper) Amy I. Kim This meta-analysis examines ten rater background variables (e.g., L1, academic discipline) drawn from 20 primary studies to address the magnitude of rater effects in L2 writing assessment. Results indicate that rater background accounts for a relatively small (d = .37) amount of the variability in L2 writing scores. A.3.3 Friday, June 30, 13:30–14:00, Room 3 (4th Floor) EFL Learner's Noticing and Written Output: Model, Error Correction, and Reformulation (Paper) Yi-Chun Christine Yang The current study investigated EFL learners' noticing and written output of three treatments, models, reformulation, and error correction. The results indicated that comparisons promoted learners' noticing of writing problems and models casted a more positive and enduring impact on EFL writing than error correction and reformulation between the two posttests. 10

Day 1, Friday, June 30 A.4.1 Friday, June 30, 12:30–13:00, Room 4 (4th Floor) Critical Thinking and L2 Academic Writing: Connections and Challenges (Paper) Parva Panahi Lazarjani The aim of this essay is to discuss the strong, reciprocal connection between critical thinking and academic writing, provide a consensual definition for critical thinking in academic writing in general and in L2 writing in particular, suggest ways of operationalizing these definitions and implementing them in writing classrooms by using a set of practical recommendations for students, particularly nonWestern students, as to how to implement critical thinking in writing through argumentation. A.4.2 Friday, June 30, 13:00–13:30, Room 4 (4th Floor) Translingual creativity in academic writing assessment: Voices from Vietnam and Australia (Paper) Thuy Dinh and Trung Nguyen This paper reports on a study about teachers' and students' reflections on how translingual creativity is evidenced and how it should be assessed in EFL and university academic writing in Vietnam and Australia. It discloses how the current evaluating frameworks should be revisited to better recognise and promote translingual creativity in writing education. A.4.3 Friday, June 30, 13:30–14:00, Room 4 (4th Floor) Investigating the impact and transferability of an academic writing course on first year students in an international branch campus (Paper) Ida Fatimawati Adi Badiozaman and Cynthia Aling Academic writing is an integral part of tertiary education in Malaysia. However, among Malaysian L2 writers, academic writing is often described as challenging, and often linked to writing anxiety. This study aims to explore the impact of an academic writing course on the writing development of these ESL undergraduate students. A.5.1 Friday, June 30, 12:30–13:00, Room 5 (4th Floor) Assessing Bilingual Students' Research Writing Anxiety (Paper) Ma Joahna Estacio The study explores the experience of writing anxiety in a second language using quantitative and qualitative techniques. Results reveal the factors that affect and the consequences of writing anxiety on students' attitudes and output. Findings disclose that attitudes related to the task difficulty and effort required to complete this task, and students' feelings about their ability to complete the task played a crucial role in the completion of the research project. A.5.2 Friday, June 30, 13:00–13:30, Room 5 (4th Floor) Untying the Gordian Knot: Does Writer's Block Influence Text Easability and Readability? (Paper) John Paul Dela Rosa and Cecilia Genuino This second language writing research aimed at determining whether writer's block influences the levels of easability and readability of essays written by secondary level ESL students. Specifically, it describes the degree of relationship between blocking phenomenon and the quality of texts measured using Coh-Metrix T.E.R.A., an online computational tool.

Symposium on Second Language Writing 2017 A.5.3 Friday, June 30, 13:30–14:00, Room 5 (4th Floor) Teachers' Challenges in Teaching Writing in Rural Junior High Schools in Indonesia (Paper) Supiani Innovative and creative teaching are required in teaching writing in rural junior high schools Indonesia because knowledgeable teachers can overcome the challenges. The process approach absolutely must be provided so that the students can understand how to write well. Finally the students' ability in composing a text will be better. A.6.1 Friday, June 30, 12:30–13:00, Room 6 (4th Floor) Taiwan's academic evaluation regime: A politics of citation indexes (Paper) Cheryl Sheridan This study investigates scholarly publishing experiences of multilingual Taiwan-based researchers regarding their publication choices under an academic evaluation regime point system privileging English-medium internationally indexed journals. Results show that the primary indexical scale under a globalization of scholarly publishing framework is a "politics of citation indexes" rather than publication location. A.6.2 Friday, June 30, 13:00–13:30, Room 6 (4th Floor) Discursive Challenges in Academic Publishing by Multilingual Novice Writers (Paper) Fang Xu A recent discussion is about whether L1 and L2 writers face different degrees of challenges as they write for publication. The paper thus explores discursive challenges faced by multilingual novice writers. The findings bring to light the role of lexico-grammatical competence in the manifestation of genre awareness in academic writing. A.6.3 Friday, June 30, 13:30–14:00, Room 6 (4th Floor) Assessing multilingual students' perceptions on plagiarism: Recapturing their voices while avoiding plagiarism (Paper) Minsun Kim This study intends to assess or understand multilingual or multicultural students' perceptions on plagiarism and try to find practices and strategies to engage those students in working with sources in a first year composition course so that they can reclaim their voices as a competent student researcherwriter. A.7.1 Friday, June 30, 12:30–13:00, Room 7 (4th Floor) Portfolio Assessment in Elementary Writing Classroom: Realizing Sustainability (Paper) Pauline Mak This research study investigates how portfolio assessment in an EFL elementary writing classroom in Hong Kong can be effectively implemented and sustained, as well as the support teachers need to realize change in assessment in their teaching context.

Day 2, Saturday, July 1

Day 2, Saturday, July 1 Saturday, July 1, 8:45–9:45, Lecture Hall (101) A new apologia for the timed impromptu writing test (Plenary) Sara Cushing In 1995, Edward White wrote that the timed impromptu writing test was "under attack from all sides as formulaic, unresponsive to the nature of writing, and destructive to the curriculum" (p. 30). Despite numerous critiques of timed impromptu writing, this form of writing assessment is still frequent in classroom and large-scale assessment alike. In this talk I will discuss the history of the timed impromptu essay from the perspectives of composition teaching and second language assessment, placing second language writing assessment at the intersection of these two disciplines. Important considerations in deciding whether and when writing should be assessed through a timed impromptu test include considerations of reliability, validity, practicality, and impact (i.e., consequences to students, teachers, and other stakeholders), and, most importantly, test purpose. Following Manchon's (2011) distinction of learning-to-write and writing-to-learn language, I distinguish between assessing writing and assessing language through writing, focusing in particular on the implications of this distinction for justifying the use of timed impromptu writing vis-à-vis its alternatives for four main test purposes: proficiency, placement, achievement, and diagnosis. I also discuss the implications of the distinction between assessing writing and assessing language through writing for task design and scoring methods, including the computer scoring of writing. Saturday, July 1, 9:45–10:15, 101 Lobby Coffee Break D.1 Saturday, July 1, 10:15–11:45, Lecture Hall (101) A Review and Analysis of L2 Writing Scholarship as Represented in the Journal of Second Language Writing (JSLW) (Colloquium) Mehdi Riazi, Ling Shi, John Haggerty and Icy Lee In this colloquium, three presenters will report on a comprehensive review and analysis of the empirical articles published in the Journal of Second Language Writing from 1992-2015.

Day 3, Sunday, July 2 Sunday, July 2, 8:45–9:45, Lecture Hall (101) Writing assessment: Do we practice what we preach? (Plenary) Deborah Crusan Assessing student writing represents a large share of second language writing teachers' workloads and is considered by some to be one of the most daunting of teacher tasks. Good assessment practices, while not always formally taught to prospective English language teachers, are essential to the teaching of second language writing. Teachers may have received instruction in giving feedback to students, but they also need guidance in assessment involving scoring, grading, and making ethically and pedagogically sound judgments about student work. In short, teachers need to understand the fundamentals of writing assessment – to be cognizant of writing assessment practices. This knowledge of writing assessment has been termed writing assessment literacy and refers to what teachers know, believe, and practice regarding writing assessment. In this plenary session, I will discuss the results of a survey regarding writing assessment literacy that examined the following questions: —How do second language writing teachers obtain assessment knowledge? —What do second language writing teachers believe about writing assessment? —What are the assessment practices of second language writing teachers? (Crusan, Plakans, & Gebril, 2016). In the past, I have consistently argued for the inclusion of assessment training in teacher education courses. This talk focuses on the idea that few teachers are prepared to assess the writing their students do. The results of the study point to the need for better preparation of teachers in MATESOL and ESL certification programs to be effective assessors of writing. I will provide suggestions and strategies for doing so.
