ABSTRACT
The present study explores L2 writers’ strategy use during writing with a smartphone dictionary app based on the think-aloud method. Two groups of Korean EFL students carried out four writing tasks: one group performed writing with the help of a dictionary app and the other did not. Results revealed that the students with dictionary aid processed writing quite differently from the ones without it. Less L2 writing anxiety, more attention to the content of writing and more active idea materialization was detected in the former group. The analysis of think-aloud data indicated that these results were mainly caused by the extension of the students’ vocabulary knowledge capacity with dictionary aid, which contributed to enhancing the confidence in their writing ability. The findings suggest that using a dictionary app in a language class could enable L2 students to perform writing more intensively by reducing anxiety.
