Constructing Knowledge

The Third Symposium on Second Language Writing will be held on October 11-12, 2002 at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. This year's Symposium, entitled "Constructing Knowledge: Approaches to Inquiry in Second Language Writing," will feature sixteen L2 writing scholars who will explore various ways in which knowledge is constructed, transformed, disseminated and negotiated in the field of second language writing. 

The Symposium on Second Language Writing is a biennial professional conference that brings together teachers and researchers who work with second- and foreign-language writers to discuss important issues in the field of second language writing.
