The present study draws on Flow Theory to examine the relationship between task repetition and quality of learners’ subjective experience during execution. is defined as a positive experiential state characterized by intense focus involvement in meaningful challenging, but doable tasks, which has been associated with enhanced self-confidence performance (Csikszentmihalyi, 2008).

The longitudinal effects of repeating a timed classroom writing activity on the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) student’s L2 (second language) writing development were investigated. Data for 46 students were collected 30 times over one year. The students’ compositions were analyzed for fluency and for grammatical and lexical complexity. Text analysis using Coh Metrix and visual analysis of ...

This study was an attempt to investigate whether output tasks, i.e., reconstruction and picturecuedwriting tasks, promote learners’ noticing of English passive structure compared to nonoutputtasks, i.e., reading comprehension and if so, which output task is more effective inenhancing learners’ noticing. In addition, this study aimed to investigate whether output tasksfacilitate learning of Engl...

The goal of this experiment was to investigate the role of visual feedback during written composition. Effects of suppression of visual feedback were analyzed both on processing demands and on on-line coordination of low-level execution processes and of high-level conceptual and linguistic processes. Writers composed a text and copied it either with or without visual feedback. Processing demand...

This paper provides an overview of grant proposal writing in Information Systems. In particular, we focus on where to find calls for grant proposals, how to write proposals, the proposal review process, and what to expect when a proposal is funded. Guidelines for writing proposals include writers becoming involved in the grant review process to gain a better understanding of how the granting pr...
