AB - Writer visibility denotes the degree of a writer’s presence in a text. A number of studies have reported that high writer visibility is one of the most noticeable features in L2 writing. Based on the findings of prior studies, this study aimed to test the relation between the degree of writer visibility and L2 writing quality through a close examination on writer visibility in different levels of L2 English writing. For a corpus-based investigation on the linguistic features of writer visibility, this study constructed three corpora of different levels of L2 writing and examined the significant differences in writer visibility across the three corpora. The results showed that basic level writers tend to use writer visibility features more frequently than advanced writers. In particular, the use of evaluative modifiers and first person (both singular and plural) pronouns showed significant differences among the three corpora, indicating a meaningful relation between the use of writer visibility features and the writing quality. Despite some limitations, this study contributes to deepen our understanding on writer visibility, serving as a foundation for future research to explore various features and dimensions of writer visibility and to provide pedagogical implications in L2 writing instruction.
