概要:

Emotions regarding second language (L2) writing have been examined using qualitative methods. Current research has explored how L2 learners present emotions about experiences and specific events through writing using qualitative approaches. However, such investigations have only explored the learners’ emotions through the lens of the textual level. Emotions involve complex feelings and sense, and equally, the writers have unspeakable feelings. To … better understand the feelings that can be difficult to articulate, the Focusing (Gendlin, 1978) and Thinking At the Edge (TAE) (Gendlin & Hendricks, 2004) methods can be applied to emotional studies of L2 writing as an innovative tool. This paper focuses primarily on emotional studies of L2 writers. It reviews the author’s pilot study of Japanese EFL (English as a foreign language) writers, and their felt sense of writing in English employing TAE methods. Finally, this paper provides research implications for emotions in L2 writing. 続きを見る
