Young learners’ response processes when writing with web access in L2: An exploratory study
Dea Jespersen defends her PhD thesis:
In my PhD dissertation, I explore how young learners (ages 12-15) approach writing in English with internet access versus without. I do this by comparing the performances, behaviours, and perceptions of 141 students across the two conditions. The findings showed that, on the one hand, internet access did not seem to affect performance; on the other hand, however, it did seem to affect the processes and perceptions. I will discuss what these findings mean for teaching and assessment of writing in an educational context where generative artificial intelligence challenges current understandings and practices related to writing in lower secondary school in Denmark.
