Abstract
â¿¿Languagingâ¿¿ is â¿¿the use of language to mediate cognitively demanding/complex activitiesâ¿¿ (Swain, 2010, p.565). Many research studies have been conducted on the effects of languaging on language learning since its introduction to the literature by Swain. This study, which is a replication of Suzuki's (2012), also aims at finding the extent of Turkish EFL learnersâ¿¿ engagement in written languaging and the effects of it on improvement in accuracy. The participants (17) wrote paragraphs and received direct feedback. Then, they engaged in languaging and immediate revisions. The results demonstrated that participants mostly focused on grammar-based languaging and improved their writing accuracy significantly.
