The Relationship Between Working Memory And Academic Writing
Authors : Belghoul Hassina . Merrouche Sarah .
Abstract
This study examines the relationship between Working Memory (WM) and L2 writing in the Algerian academic setting. The existence of such a relationship should help teachers assess their students’ needs and better plan their lessons. It inspects a correlational design in order to conclude whether individual differences in WM can predict L2 academic writing performance. Measuring the WM of 29 first year students of English at the University of Oum El Bouagh using a complex writing span test revealed its correlation with writing complexity and summary quality but not its relationship with fluency and accuracy, contrary to what was predicted.
