Description¶
A battery of L1 and L2 linguistic knowledge, fluency, metacognitive knowledge, and writing-performance measures developed by Schoonen et al. for assessing grade 8 students' writing-related component skills.
Components¶
- Component measures battery: linguistic knowledge, fluency, and metacognitive knowledge tests in L1 and L2: The study administered a battery of measures to 281 grade 8 students covering linguistic knowledge, speed of processing (fluency/accessibility), and metacognitive knowledge in both Dutch (L1) and English (L2), alongside writing performance tasks. These measures served as observed indicators in structural equation models estimating each component's contribution to writing. The battery enabled the cross-language comparison that showed fluency's added value was null once linguistic knowledge was accounted for. (R. Schoonen et al. (2003))
Claims¶
- Fluency measures correlated with overall writing performance in both L1 and L2, but added no predictive value beyond linguistic knowledge [+M]
- Metacognitive knowledge was examined as a component of writing proficiency alongside linguistic knowledge and fluency [+W]
- L2 writing proficiency was more highly correlated with L1 writing proficiency than with L2 linguistic knowledge or its accessibility [+W]
- Writing proficiency components were studied and compared across L1 and L2 using the same modeling framework [+W]
