Friday November 15, 2024 11:15am - 11:45am MST

Santa Cruz

In this presentation we introduce writing micro-processes as a focus of research with theoretical and pedagogical implications. We argue that attention to micro-processes enables a close look at writing as it unfolds in real time. We demonstrate this through examples from a corpus of multilingual students’ screen-recordings of writing activity.
