This document discusses using visuals to help second language (L2) writers develop their writing skills. It argues that L2 writers often misunderstand writing prompts due to uncertainty in expressing themselves fully in their non-native language. The author proposes having L2 writers analyze images and relate them to writing prompts to scaffold their understanding. Students would describe images, reflect on connections between images and concepts, and use this visual analysis to develop reflections and discover their writing voice. The author believes this approach can help L2 writers enter vocabulary, make associations, discuss experiences, and share emotions through writing.
