Sommario/riassunto

This book represents the most comprehensive account to date of foreign language (FL) writing. Its basic aim is to reflect critically on where the field is now and where it needs need to go next in the exploration of FL writing at the levels of theory, research, and pedagogy, hence the two parts of the book: 'Looking back' and 'Looking ahead'. The chapters in Part I offer accounts of both the inquiry process followed and the main insights gained in various long-term research programs. The chapters in Part 2 contribute a retrospective analysis of the available empirical research and of professional experiences in an attempt to move forward. The book invites the reader to step back and rethink seemingly well established knowledge about L2 writing in light of what is known about writing in FL contexts.

Sommario/riassunto

This book shows clearly how the study of concrete control systems has motivated the development of the mathematical tools needed for solving such problems. In many cases, by using this apparatus, far-reaching generalizations have been made, and its further development will have an important effect on many fields of mathematics.  In the book a way is demonstrated in which the study of the Watt flyball governor has given rise to the theory of stability of motion. The criteria of controllability, observability, and stabilization are stated. Analysis is made of dynamical systems, which describe a
