This book focuses on the concept of learner writer identity in the context of foreign language writing. The author demonstrates that the process of writing in a foreign language is much more complex and personal than many writing instructors may assume. The book´s theoretical chapters address such concepts as bilingualism, the process of L2 writing, and identity in L2 writing. The book´s empirical section discusses the students´ views on writing in L1 and in L2, the students´ writing processes in both languages, and the students´ identities in L1 and L2 writing. It is shown that writing in L2 poses problems of a linguistic nature; however, for the advanced EFL learners writing in L2 also creates opportunities they would never have when composing in their mother tongue.
