Three phases of data collection were employed: individual interviews, examination of participants’ Facebook status updates and a group interview. The findings suggested that regardless of the language in which participants wrote, they made a series of decisions as they selected the content, chose the language, formulated the text and typed the status updates. The findings also indicated that for the individuals in this study, higher language proficiencies resulted in increased automaticity when converting thoughts to nonstandard online communications.

Trois phases de collecte de données ont été utilisées : entrevues individuelles, examen des mises à jour de statut Facebook des participants et entrevue de groupe. Les résultats suggèrent que peu importe la langue derédaction utilisée par les participants, ceux-ci procédaient à une série de décisions ensélectionnant le contenu, choisissant la langue, formulant le texte et entrant les mises à jour. Les résultats indiquent également que pour les personnes de cette étude, de meilleures compétences linguistiques se traduisaient par une automaticité accrue au moment de convertir les pensées en communications en ligne non standards. Bien que les participants aient pris part à certaines expériences décrites par Flower et Hayes dans leur Cognitive Process Model (1981), de plusamples explications sont requises pour illustrer comment ce processus varie pour les rédacteurs bilingues en ligne.  \nIntroduction  \nToday, more than ever, people are using different internet mediums to communicate with one another. The benefits of online writing extend beyond merely socializing. For instance, online writers can gain linguistic empowerment, express themselves, network, and manage their identities (Fullwood, Sheehan, & Nicholls, 2009; Kelly & Safford, 2009) . One of the most popular places to write online is Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site. Facebook states that its mission is to give “people the power to share and make the world more open and connected”(Facebook, 2013) .The site has experienced continued user growth. As of September 30th, 2013 on average there were 727 million daily active users and 1.19 billion monthly active users (Key Facts, 2013) .  \nPrevious research (Depew, 2011; Shih, 2011; Yunus & Salehi, 2012) has examined how Facebook users can develop their writing through the site. In addition to monolingual users, English language learners (ELLs) may also experience the benefits of writing on Facebook. There, ELLs are able to connect to friends and establish their identities (Depew, 2011) . Additionally, the integration of Facebook into the English as a second language writing classroom can build students’ knowledge, increase motivation and build confidence (Yunus, Salehi, & Chenzi, 2012). However, despite Facebook’s rapid growth and the attention it has received from researchers, little consideration has been given to the cognitive processes employed when communicating on the website through informal writing, particularly for bilinguals. Such information may give educators a better understanding of the similarities bilinguals experience when writing online. Educators can then build on the cognitive practices bilingual learners are already using to guide and support students as they write in ","cbCaikGSojEiwVCB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikGSojEiwVCB","pdf",645500,17,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Review of the Literature\n## Bilingual Writing Processes","[{\"question\":\"What was the study designed to explore about bilingual writers?\",\"answer\":\"It explored the cognitive processes bilingual writers use when composing English and Spanish Facebook status updates.\"},{\"question\":\"How were data collected in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used individual interviews, examination of participants’ Facebook status updates, and a group interview.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the findings indicate about decision-making during writing?\",\"answer\":\"Regardless of the language used, participants made a series of decisions about content, language selection, text formulation, and how they typed the status updates.\"}]","Bilingual Facebook Users’ Cognitive Writing Processes - Abstract and Introduction | PDF",1792085375,43]
