How Genre Awareness Shapes L2 Academic Writing: Pathways Through Self‐Efficacy and Learning Engagement
This study addresses a gap in second language (L2) writing research by empirically examining how genre awareness—a cognitive concept derived from genre pedagogy—interacts with self‐efficacy (a motivational belief) and learning engagement (a multidimensional meta‐construct comprising vigor, dedication, and absorption) in relation to academic writing proficiency. Grounded in social cognitive theory and genre‐based frameworks, we propose a sequentia…
