Facilitating L2 Writers' Interpretation of Source Texts
Student success in higher education often involves the effective integration of source texts into students' writing. Teaching L2 students to write from sources is challenging because of several issues, including limited practice with reading-to-write tasks and limited knowledge about the organizational structure (at many levels) of the texts they are reading and those they are expected to write. In this pedagogical article the researchers present key reading-to-write instructional interventions. The interventions promote reading-to-write development by moving from comprehension of source materials to a focus on students' capacities to interpret (i.e., summarize and paraphrase) source texts.
