Abstract This meta-analysis examines how components of the Simple View of Writing contribute to writing development for English second-language (L2) learners. Previous studies examining first-language learners suggest that transcription and ideation may predict writing achievement. In order to investigate whether these components similarly contribute to L2 writing, this study examined effect sizes (correlations) reported in previous literature on the relationship between components of transcription and ideation to writing. After a systematic search and screening, 30 studies with 97 reported effect sizes were included in this study. Three separate meta-analyses were run for transcription (spelling/handwriting), oral language, and vocabulary. Results suggest that, independently, transcription accounted for 31.22%, vocabulary 24.83%, and oral language 15.76% of variation in writing. Further moderator analyses were run to better understand factors contributing to variation between studies. These results suggest that the components of the Simple View of Writing may explain writing variation in L2 writing.

简单的写作观是否解释了第二语言的写作发展？

摘要本荟萃分析探讨了“简单写作观”的组成部分如何促进英语第二语言（L2）学习者的写作发展。先前研究母语的学生的研究表明，转录和构想可以预测写作成绩。为了调查这些成分是否同样有助于L2写作，本研究检查了以前文献中有关转录和构想与写作成分之间关系的报道的效应大小（相关性）。经过系统的搜索和筛选，该研究包括30个研究，报告的效应大小为97。对转录（拼写/笔迹），口语和词汇进行了三个单独的荟萃分析。结果表明，转录分别占31.22％，词汇占24.83％，和口语写作差异的15.76％。进行了进一步的主持人分析，以更好地理解导致研究之间差异的因素。这些结果表明简单写作观的组成部分可以解释第二层写作中的写作差异。
