Table of ContentsReviewsCollaborative writing is one of the most exciting new directions in second language writing research and instruction. In this book, Neomy Storch, a leader in this important development, lays a foundation by providing a clear and succinct overview of theoretical and research insights from a wide range of intellectual traditions, including second language acquisition, sociocultural theory, composition studies and, of course, second language writing. This book is a great introduction for teachers who wish to understand the rationale behind collaborative writing and for researchers who wish to identify questions for further explorations of this relatively young yet promising research area with practical implications. - Paul Kei Matsuda, Arizona State University, USA At last, a definitive treatment of collaborative writing in second language classrooms! Storch lays out compelling theoretical, empirical and pedagogical rationales for collaborative writing, convincing the reader of its positive impact on language learning. Aware of the challenges teachers face in implementing in-class and online (e.g. wikis) collaborative activities, she provides practical suggestions about task choice, and the collaborative relationships most conducive to language learning. She addresses both cognitive and social-emotive aspects of pair/group work, calling for longitudinal, qualitative research in diverse language learning contexts. -- Merrill Swain and Sharon Lapkin, The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Canada In this accessible yet authoritative book, Neomy Storch has provided the field with an illuminating, comprehensive, and novel understanding of the role that collaboration (through writing) and L2 writing (in collaborative environments) can play in advancing L2 competencies. The book is therefore a most welcome addition to the expanding SLA-oriented L2 writing scholarship. -- Rosa M.

I am happy to recommend it to both teachers and researchers with an interest in collaborative writing. -- Rosemary Wette, University of Auckland, New Zealand in TESOLANZ Journal (2015) This new publication will be undoubtedly welcomed by practitioners as an authoritative book in the field of L2 writing, especially for those interested in practical methods of incorporating collaborative writing in class. Researchers too may benefit from the identification of questions for further exploration in an area that is still, by and large, underexplored and in which, according to the author, only a small number of published studies have appeared to date. -- Brett Cumming, Aichi Prefectural University, Japan JALT Journal, 37.1 Author InformationAuthor Website: http://languages-linguistics.unimelb.edu.au/academic-staff/neomy-storchNeomy Storch is Senior Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and ESL, at the School of Languages and Linguistics, The University of Melbourne.
