Teachers’ Support and Pupils’ Writing Strategies in a Networked Elementary-School Learning Environment Integrating a Blog

Although the affective dimension of writing is important and well documented, we know less about how teachers and students are making use of the blog in classrooms to advance specifically cognitive goals connected to writing. It is with this in mind that a case study was carried out to closely document the effect of classroom blogs on the development of writing in 6th grade pupils. The study intended to a) describe the kind of support about writing provided by teachers and b) describe how writing strategies and processes were used by the pupils while they were using the blog. Two teachers and the students in their classrooms participated in our study. Data were collected from classroom observations and interviews. We used Hayes and Flower’s writing processes, elaborated in 27 writing strategies, to analyze the classroom data. The results reveal that teachers focused the most on planning and revising processes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate ESL instructors' feedback techniques and the rationales behind these techniques, to explore ESL students' beliefs about the relative effectiveness of various types of feedback, and to compare students' beliefs with those of their instructors. A university-level ESL instructor and two of her students participated in this case study. Data were collected by think-aloud protocols and semistructured interviews, and results revealed four major categories: (a) types of feedback the instructor emphasized, (b) the instructor's beliefs about teaching writing, (c) students' beliefs about learning to write, and (d) students' views on the effectiveness of teachers' feedback strategies. Because some of the instructor's beliefs seemed to conflict with her students' views, it was concluded that teachers should make an effort to explore their students' beliefs about writing, feedback, and error correction and to try to bridge any gap between their own and their students' expectations.
