Research paper: TESOL and Culture

After doing some more research, I have decided to change my previous topic (on teaching listening) and focus more on the effects of culture and language on ELL writing skills. My research question: How can L1 linguistic and cultural influences affect L2 writing skills?. I want to focus on the types of challenges the student faces influenced by their native culture. Also, how these identity factors affect the development of  English writing skills for ESL learners. I will focus mainly on college level or graduate students. I want to discuss the pros and cons about cultural influences, and student's beliefs and attitudes about it. My topic is still in progress.

"Teaching of English Writing in American and Chinese Colleges: A Data-Based Study" by XU Hui-yan (2012). It analyzes the similarities and differences in teaching English writing in Chinese and American colleges through surveying the published papers. American writing teachers tend to work in teams with more focuses on collaborative learning and writing communities, while Chinese teachers work more individually with stresses on errors analysis, teaching for the test, and negative transfer of Chinese language and culture in English writing.
