Topics include the role of previous experience and instruction in situated writing practices in foreign language settings; the linguistic and cognitive demands of foreign language writing; the temporal dimension and problem-solving nature of foreign language composing processes; age-related differences and associated factors in foreign language writing; the globalization of scholarship; critical evaluation of writing teaching programs in different foreign language settings; and cutting-edge issues in theory, research, and pedagogy.
