摘　　要：本研究基于复杂动态系统理论采用个体生长曲线建模和反思分析相结合的混合研究设计,考察28名中国英语专业大学生二语写作功能充分性发展变化情况,同时关注学习者个体发展轨迹和群体发展趋势。研究发现,个体学习者功能充分性不同维度发展过程呈显著性差异,并伴有不同程度的个体变异性;群体层面,功能充分性的可理解性和衔接与连贯维度显著增长,内容维度无显著变化。研究进一步利用变点分析和反思分析探究高增长组和低增长组学习者功能充分性发展态势的差异及原因。结果表明,高增长组在经历变点后呈上升趋势,而低增长组则无显著变化。反思分析显示,注意力资源分配和任务态度是影响学习者写作功能充分性发展的重要因素。研究结果有助于教师更好地设计二语写作课堂教学任务,帮助学习者提高写作水平。Based on complex dynamic systems theory and adopting an individual growth curve modelling technique and reflection analysis, the present study explores the developmental patterns of functional adequacy in 28 Chinese EFL learners ' L2 writing, concurrently depicting individual-level and group-level developmental trajectories. Results of the study show that individual learners followed distinct developmental paths with different dimensions of functional adequacy, accompanied by varying degrees of inter-individual variability. Learners at the group level experienced a significant increase in two dimensions of functional adequacy, which are comprehensibility and coherence and cohesion, while there is no significant change in the content dimension. The author further examines the developmental patterns of high-and low- growth learners and the reasons for their differences with a change point analysis and reflection analysis. The study finds that high-growth learners experienced critical changes and continued with an increase;however, the low-growth learners experienced no significant change over time.Results of reflection analysis show that attentional resource allocation and task attitudes are important factors influencing the developmental patterns of functional adequacy in writing. The findings of the study provide pedagogical suggestions for language instructors in designing writing tasks in their EFL classrooms to enhance learners' writing proficiency.
