ABSTRACT
In Chapters 1 – 3 , we introduced theoretical foundations of L1 and L2 writing instruction, explored the unique demands placed on L2 writers, and surveyed influential pedagogies. This chapter introduces operational principles for planning L2 literacy courses that feature writing; it also proposes flexible tools for designing and executing appropriate lessons for cultivating L2 writing skills and strategies. Building on the socioliterate, integrated-skills approaches addressed in Chapters 3 and 4 , we will suggest procedures for designing courses, planning lessons, and constructing purposeful classroom tasks.
