q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Interview findings on revising strategies of the nine skilled EFL writers, who checked spelling and grammar first then focused on logic and coherence; the planning section reports "all of the skilled writers underwent the process of planning before they were about to write."

"And all of them went on to report that they then spent most of the post-writing time on thinking over whether their writing was logic and coherent for the readers to follow and what else could be done to make their written texts more powerful or persuasive."
