Abstract

This study investigated language transfer on students’ L2 (English) writing revisions with a bilingual concordancer. The findings showed that the students could overcome negative language transfer of L1 (Chinese) in terms of modifying their word expressions by viewing language examples, and revised their first drafts into final ones with grammatical, lexical, syntactic, and mechanical revisions.
