In this original volume, eighteen researchers from different parts
of the world reflect on their own research projects, providing
insights into key methodological issues in research on second
language writing. By offering a glimpse into the process of
constructing and negotiating knowledge in the field--the messy
space of situated practices of inquiry--it helps to demystify the
research process, which can appear in published studies and in
introductory methodology guides to be neater and more orderly than
it actually is. Taking a broad conception of research as inquiry
that emphasizes the situated and constructed nature of knowledge in
the field, Second Language Writing Research: Perspectives on the
Process of Knowledge Construction encourages multiple forms of
inquiry, including philosophical, narrative, and historical modes.
Empirical inquiry as presented in this book encompasses both
quantitative and qualitative approaches as well as those that
strategically combine them. A helpful discussion of the "nuts and
bolts" of developing sustainable research programs is also
provided. The volume as a whole facilitates a situated,
issue-driven research practice. Its unique focus on second language
writing research makes it an invaluable resource for both novice
and experienced researchers in the field.
