Contexts of Second Language Writing, a volume based on the 2000 Symposium is now in the making. The Symposium on Second Language Writing began in 1998 at Purdue University as a way of facilitating the advancement of knowledge in the field of L2 writing and to build a sense of community among those who are involved in L2 writing research and instruction. The first Symposium featured 16 internationally recognized experts in the field, who addressed issues in theory, research, instruction, assessment, politics, and articulation with other disciplines. In response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the participants and many requests from people who were not able to attend the first Symposium, the second Symposium was held at Purdue in September 2000. Currently, the plan for the third Symposium is underway for the fall of 2002.
