A Critical Review of Yang and Plakans’ Strategy Inventory for Integrated Writing
Abstract
This article reviews Yang and Plakans’ (2012) Strategy Inventory for Integrated Writing (SIIW). The existence of SIIW is crucial to elicit strategies used by TOEFL iBT test takers in completing integrated reading-listening-writing task. After reviewing Yang and Plakans’ SIIW, it is found that there is a need to develop a more comprehensive, reliable and valid strategy inventory for integrated writing.
Keywords: strategy inventory, integrated writing
