The Symposium on Second Language Writing is an international conference that brings together teachers and researchers who work with second and foreign language writers to discuss important issues in the field. The Symposium began in 1998 at Purdue University as a way to facilitate the advancement of knowledge on second language writing and to build a sense of community among those who are involved in second language writing research and instruction.

 

This year's local hosts will be the Shandong University School of Foreign Languages and Literatures and the National Association of EFL Writing Teaching and Research of China.

 

The theme for the 2013 Symposium, L2 Writing in the Global Context: Represented, Underrepresented, and Unrepresented Voices, will be addressed in plenary sessions by L2 writing scholars who will each focus on the state of second language writing studies in a country or region. The plenary speakers include:

 

John Bitchener, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand
