Description
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to reflect on the affordances, from a research methodology perspective, of using screencasts to analyze second language (L2) writers’ engagement with feedback. Screencasts are considered “digital windows” into learners’ writing processes, including engagement with feedback. We will thus describe the types of data obtained with screencast technology and how the analysis of these data may further our understanding of the processes L2 learners engage in while acting upon different feedback timing conditions (immediate synchronous, delayed synchronous, and asynchronous teacher feedback). The chapter will start with a brief outline of the aims guiding our empirical study and a concise account of the rationale behind our aims and methodology, including data collection decisions and instruments. The central part of the chapter will then focus on describing (i) the type of data about learner engagement with feedback that can be obtained via screencast technology (i.e., affordances) and (ii) the challenges experienced during data collection and how they were addressed. We will close with methodological implications for future research aiming to use screencast technology to analyze learner engagement with feedback.
