The Role Of Research-Article Writing Motivation And Self-Regulatory Strategies In Explaining Researcharticle Abstract Writing Ability
Summary .— The purpose of the study was to investigate the eff ects of researcharticle writing motivation and use of self-regulatory writing strategies in explaining second language (L2) research-article abstract writing ability, alongside the L2 literacy eff ect. Four measures were administered: a L2 literacy test, a research abstract
performance assessment, and inventories of writing motivation and strategy. Participants were L2 graduate students in Taiwan ( N = 185; M age = 25.8 yr., SD = 4.5,range = 22–53). Results of structural equation modeling showed a direct eff ect of motivation on research-article writing ability, but no direct eff ect of strategy or indirect eff ect of motivation via strategy on research-article writing ability, with L2 literacy controlled. The fi ndings suggest research-article writing instruction should address writing motivation, besides L2 literacy.
