Theory and Practice of E-AfL in L2 Writing at Primary Schools

This chapter examines the theory and practices of E-AfL in L2 writing at primary schools. The chapter first traces the history and current conceptions of AfL, and then narrows the topic to focusing on the definitional issue regarding E-AfL. By reviewing the literature on L2 writing instructional approaches and technology incorporation into L2 writing instruction, this chapter summarises the pedagogical principles of E-AfL in primary EFL writing classrooms, which will guide teachers’ E-AfL implementation in real classrooms.
