Conclusion and outlook Wikis are, indeed, wiki wiki to set up and fill with content. Wikis do add to quality of project work as they support our efforts to promote largely independent writing in the target language among learners. Wikis are also very valuable tools for researchers who want to gain insights into the process, quality and nature of collaborative writing in the target language. 2/24/2019 GLoCALL 2007 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh Chity
