Abstract
The author argues for the use of ethnographic research methods by ESL teachers of writing, and by researchers in the same area. She presents the results of a small ethnographic study to determine the invention preferences of advanced ESL students. Students' most common preferences were found to be hierarchical treeing, or planning; open-ended, exploratory techniques were also popular, though to a lesser extent; the least common preference was for systematic heuristics.
