Abstract:
While there have been growing amount of research on learner engagement with feedback on Second Language (L2) writing in the past decade, learners' multi-dimensional engagement with feedback from multiple sources across different genres has remained under-explored. To address the gaps, this study investigated how six second-year English majors engaged behaviorally, cognitively and affectively with automated, peer and teacher feedback across three genres (argumentation, exposition, and narration) in an L2 writing class given online over a 16-week semester. Through the textual analysis of learners' drafts, feedback and revision and qualitative analysis of their interview transcripts, it was found that the quantity and incorporation rate of feedback in general, across three feedback sources and two feedback types all differed by genres; surface-level teacher feedback remained the most highly incorporated, though. Learners' engagement with feedback also varied, suggesting its complexity triggered by the mediating effect of contextual and individual factors plus the interconnectedness and inconsistencies among engagement dimensions. Two pedagogical implications were provided to enhance learner engagement.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
