Abstract

In this chapter, I will describe a step-by-step approach on how to design a writing intervention. Due to a lack of space in research journals, critical design choices and approaches underlying writing interventions are often only vaguely described. More particularly, such descriptions include an overview of the different sessions or lessons and a summarization of the content and the instructional approach. Although these descriptions are informative and the reader has an overall idea of the structure and content of the writing program, replicating the intervention or implementing the intervention into everyday practice is, however, not at all evident without knowing the exact instructional activities and without access to the specific intervention materials. Therefore, researchers in the field have called for more structured and analytic descriptions of writing interventions in light of fostering theory building, replication, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based writing practices. Clear descriptions of the design of interventions in research publications provide guidance for writing researchers to further theorize conceptual writing models, to replicate evidence-based writing practices, and to bring writing interventions to scale. Eventually, such detailed descriptions can also inform educational writing practitioners to effectively implement these writing practices into everyday practice. The twofold aim of this chapter is, therefore, to provide recommendations and guidelines on how to develop a particular instructional writing intervention on the one hand and how to systematically report this intervention in research articles on the other hand.
