Abstract
LOPEZ, María Eugenia. Exploring students' EFL writing through hypertext design. Colomb. Appl. Linguist. J. [online]. 2006, n.8, pp.74-122. ISSN 0123-4641.
This research analyzes the processes students undergo when writing hypertexts collaboratively. This qualitative case study provides an overall picture of students' EFL writing through hypertext design. It is a collaborative experience which explores and documents how students deal with grammatical, textual and pragmatic aspects when writing hypertexts. This study draws upon data collected during a semester con ducted with engineering students at a university in 2003. Students' hypertexts, audio recordings, students' reflection logs and an interview were used as main data collection sources. Two main categories emerged as a result of triangulating evidence: "Process of collaborative hypertext writing and negotiation" and "Use of concept mapping and other strategies to overcome difficulties in hypertext writing".
Keywords : Hypertext; negotiation; academic writing; and collaborative writing.
