Expressivism is one manifestation of the process theory of writing. While the research on first language learners and second language learners, or L1 and L2, remains a bit uneven, I have considered what has been researched and have attempted to draw connections from there. After implementing some of these expressivistic approaches in both classrooms, I have dedicated a section of my thesis where these responses are included. These responses represent my willingness as an educator to show rather than just tell readers about my research. The first chapter of my thesis contains existing research on both L1 and L2 learners. I outline four principles of expressivism in the introductory section. These principles are short-circuiting; embracing the authentic, personal voice; the physicality of writing; and showing not telling. It is important to note that these four principles only represent some of the many principles lying underneath the umbrella of expressivism. This section chronicles what has been tested and found to be true of both first language learning and second language learning. The second chapter of my thesis contains student responses from L1 and L2 learners illustrating their written reactions to these four principles of expressivism. The last section of the second chapter provides an arena where conclusions are drawn and introspection occurs. 1998 English text Youngstown State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu997111124 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu997111124 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
