| Research Abstract |
We investigated from a dynamic systems perspective how Japanese EFL students changed their L2 writing by repeating a timed-writing task every week for one year. We found(1) that grammatical complexity rose to a greater extent than did fluency when a class as a whole was analyzed, (2) that there was long-term effects on grammatical complexity and lexical complexity, but few short-time effects on these aspects of writing, and (3) that if students wrote detailed reflective comments in Japanese after a timed-writing task, their fluency was improved notably.
