Subclaims¶

q1 i? Emig's analysis holds that the process of writing uniquely corresponds to the common features of successful learning, such as being connective, selective, active, personal, and self-rhythmed. → Diaz 1988

Diaz 1988¶

Diaz, Diana M. (1988). First Language/Second Language: Acquisition, Writing, and Cognitive Development. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED294203

q1 · i? · review · r1

The article reports, citing Janet Emig's 1977 article on writing as a mode of learning, that learning involves feedback and reinforcement, is connective and selective, uses propositions, hypotheses and summarizers, and is active, personal, and self-rhythmed; writing uniquely corresponds to these features. No empirical data are reported in this article.

"And, she concludes, the process of writing uniquely corresponds to these important features of successful learning."
