In this article we present a comparative and qualitative study of the phenomena observed in the development of writing by L2 adults of Moroccan origin who are becoming literate in Spanish. Writing samples were gathered in Granada, Spain, and analyzed using a theoretical framework based on the classification of stages of Spanish L1 children’s development of writing as presented by Ferreiro and Teberosky (1979). The results suggest that L2 adults go through the same stages in learning to write as L1 children although some differences are observed, mainly with regards to the absence of the pre-phonic stages and the syllabic sub-stage in the case of the adults who are also influenced by other languages and writing systems. In order to obtain more representative results, future studies should gather samples of other immigrant communities.

在本文中，我们将对来自摩洛哥的L2成年人（他们已经成为西班牙文人）在写作发展中观察到的现象进行了比较和定性的研究。写作样本是在西班牙格拉纳达收集的，并根据Ferreiro和Teberosky（1979）提出的基于西班牙L1儿童写作发展阶段分类的理论框架进行了分析。结果表明，尽管观察到一些差异，但L2成人与L1儿童在学习写作方面经历了相同的阶段，主要是因为在成人阶段，缺少前声阶段和音节子阶段。也受到其他语言和写作系统的影响。为了获得更具代表性的结果，未来的研究应收集其他移民社区的样本。
