Johnson’s Article Featured in Language Teaching

Dr. Mark Johnson just published the invited essay “Research timeline: Planning in L1 and L2 Writing: Working Memory, Process, and Product” in the journal Language Teaching.

Johnson argues “The study of planning in second language (L2) writing research is heavily influenced by two research domains: (a) early research on cognition in first language (L1) composing processes and (b) second language acquisition (SLA) research.”

Johnson’s research timeline “traces the study of planning in L2 writing in each of these domains by reviewing key L1 and L2 writing research over the last 30-plus years and by highlighting each study’s findings. Prior to presenting the timeline, the following sections provide backgrounds in each of the domains noted above and situate planning within those domains.”
