Abstract
There have been many studies into the relation between cognitive processes during writing in the mother tongue (L1) and writing in a second or foreign language (L2). As task situations during writing continuously change, so does the probability of occurrence of cognitive activities. This chapter focuses on the orchestration of formulating activities during writing in L1 and L2, and their relation with text quality. It shows that the occurrence of formulating activities differs between L1 and L2. The occurrence of formulating activities in L1 follows a more complex pattern than the occurrence of formulating in L2. Furthermore, the correlation between formulating activities is more complex in L1 than in L2. Finally, this correlation appears to be highly task dependent in L1 but not in L2. Keywords: cognitive processes; foreign language; formulating activities; mother tongue; text quality
