Abstract Previous process-oriented research has predominantly investigated writing processes used by non-native speakers of English (L2) and found that more proficient writers allocate more time to planning and revising than less proficient writers who spend most of their time on formulating. There is so far no exploration of the process use by novice students at university and its relationship to writing performance. Using screen recordings and interviews, we compared the writing processes and behaviours of a successful and unsuccessful student and identified considerable differences in time allocation and the interaction and recursiveness of processes. The findings highlight the importance of integrating a focus on effective process use into academic writing instruction.

完成第一个作业：成功和不成功的学生使用的写作过程

摘要 以前的面向过程的研究主要调查非英语母语 (L2) 使用的写作过程，发现更熟练的作家比将大部分时间花在公式化上的不熟练作家分配更多的时间来计划和修改。目前还没有对大学新生的过程使用及其与写作表现的关系进行探索。通过屏幕录像和访谈，我们比较了一名成功和不成功学生的写作过程和行为，并发现了时间分配以及过程的交互和递归性方面的巨大差异。研究结果强调了将重点放在有效的过程使用中融入学术写作教学的重要性。
