Task-Type repetition and L2 Writing Development

The study aims to investigate whether repetition of the same task type affects quality of writing production in terms of complexity, accuracy and fluency(CAF). Data is collected in the form of TOEFL integrated and independent essays repetitively written at weekly intervals. Fluency, complexity and accuracy of each essay were gauged using various measures to reflect multidimensionality of these constructs. Data analysis reveals that there is improvement in both integrated and independent writing, especially in terms of linguistic accuracy, which could be attributed to repetition of these two tasks.
