Abstract
In this chapter, two experiments were conducted to examine the relationship between online management of the writing processes and quality of the narrative and argumentative texts. The results of the first experiment confirmed that narrative and argumentative texts are composed with different strategies. The second experiment investigated more precisely how the relationship between text quality and the online management of the writing processes might be affected by a goal emphasizing text quality. As expected, and replicating the findings of experiment one, different patterns in the online management of the writing processes were observed in the narrative and argumentative compositions. In sum, what emerges from these studies is that students change and adapt their writing strategy according to the constraints of the writing task. The chapter highlights the importance of teaching students about the procedural differences between different types of text. Keywords: argumentative texts; narrative text; text quality; writing processes
