Writing self-efficacy and multilingual writers: Practical insights from new research

Friday November 15, 2024 3:00pm - 4:30pm MST

This colloquium presents findings from a large research project focused on writing self-efficacy (WSE) conducted with first-year university students, most, not all, of whom were multilingual. We will discuss differences between L1 and L2 writers in WSE, factors that influence WSE, and implications for teaching L2 writers.
