Writing Instruction for English Language Learners: Teacher Beliefs, Writing Tasks, and Methods
The study suggests that writing instruction for ELLs might include an optimal balance of opportunities for developing both writing competence and writing performance. Such balanced writing instruction may be represented through offering transcription-oriented and composition-oriented writing opportunities. Additionally, the study recommends that providing more explicit instruction about writing may support ELLs' writing skills development, rather than simply providing many opportunities to write.
