Ana Cristina Sánchez

Abstract—This research paper examines the benefits of using a digital concept map approach to develop metacognitive writing skills and to empower L2 learners. The study explores how a digital concept map can help L2 learners develop metacognitive writing skills and empower L2 students at the same time. By providing students with a tool to organize their thoughts and use the multimodality the online resources offer, the digital concept map becomes a tool to give agency to L2 learners and provide them with the tools to communicative within the various target language discourses they will interact with. This paper is relevant to L2 writing, methodology and multimodal literacies.

Index Terms—Concept map, digital, empower, writing.
