    A comparative study of developing L1 and L2 writers' metalinguistic activity in collaborative writing tasks among young Basque immersion learners
    (Routledge, 2024-10-24) García del Real Marco, Isabel; López Flamarique, María Teresa; Aznárez Mauleón, Mónica; Villarreal Olaizola, Izaskun; Ciencias humanas y de la educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Social Research - ICOMMUNITAS; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA2036
    La literatura sobre la conversación metalingüística en tareas de escritura colaborativa se centra en alumnado de secundaria o adulto que escribe en su L1 o en su L2, pero no hay estudios que contrasten el proceso de escritura en sus dos lenguas. Además, estas investigaciones analizan principalmente las discusiones sobre corrección y no tienen en cuenta las discusiones estilísticas. En este trabajo, se compara la actividad metalingüística de 65 estudiantes bilingües de 5° de Primaria (10-11 años) durante la escritura colaborativa de textos en español L1 y vasco L2. Se analizaron y se compararon los episodios metalingüísticos (LRE en inglés) encontrados en las conversaciones del alumnado en ambas lenguas. La cantidad de episodios fue similar en ambas lenguas, con una tendencia a resolver las discusiones de manera correcta durante la escritura en L1 y L2. Sin embargo, se observaron diferencias en el contenido de los LREs: se produjeron más discusiones sobre morfosintaxis en vasco y más sobre ortografía en español. Además, hubo más LREs sobre corrección en vasco y más sobre estilo en español. Estos resultados se discuten en relación a la madurez y competencia lingüística del alumnado: se presta más atención a la ortografía en edades tempranas debido a una inmadurez en el desarrollo de las reglas de transcripción de la lengua, y hay más discusión estilística a mayor nivel lingüístico.

    Computer-based collaborative writing with young learners: effects on text quality
    (De Gruyter, 2021) Villarreal Olaizola, Izaskun; Bueno-Alastuey, María Camino; Sáez León, Raquel; Ciencias humanas y de la educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza Zientziak
    Writing has positioned itself as a valuable asset for language learning and numerous investigations have burgeoned in an attempt to ascertain which factors hasten the writing process. Within the writing-to-learn language approach, collaborative writing, or the activity by which two or more students co-construct and co-own a written text, has gained momentum, because negotiating for meaning in authentic tasks is considered essential for effective language learning.

    Are EFL writers motivated or demotivated by model texts and task repetition? Evidence from young collaborative writers
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2021) Lázaro Ibarrola, Amparo; Villarreal Olaizola, Izaskun; Institute for Advanced Social Research - ICOMMUNITAS; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, CENEDUCA18
    Studies on multi-stage writing tasks with adults and children have shown that model texts and task repetition aid language acquisition, especially when learners work in collaboration. However, these studies have not included measures of task motivation, which is vital in young learners (YLs) and could help develop a more comprehensive understanding of task effectiveness. The present study analyses task motivation in 24 EFL YLs writing in pairs during three sessions divided into a model group (MG) and a task repetition group (TRG). Results show that students’ task motivation is high in general but declines in the MG while it is maintained in the TRG. As for the motives, working together is the main reason students give to justify their positive scores. These results complete previous knowledge about models and TR, reinforce the value of collaborative writing and encourage the inclusion of motivation measures in task-based research.
