Abstract

This paper presents an empirical study of the effects of planning on accuracy in the use of past tenses in second language narrative writing. Based on Ellis & Yuan’s study (2004) that analyzed the effects of planning on fluency, complexity and accuracy in second language narrative writing , this article reports a study of the effect of two types of planning conditions (pretask planning and no planning) on 12 twelve Brazilian learners’ written narratives elicited by means of a movie scene. The results indicate that pretask planning has some effect on the accurate use of past tenses, differing from the results obtained in the previous study.
