摘要

As the importance of formulaic language in second language acquisition and production, the number of research on this topic has been increasing. This paper made a thorough review of one of its sub‐categories: formulaic language and second language writing. The review unfolded from three aspects: investigating the use of formulaic language in second language writing, formulaic language and the assessment of second language writing, and influence of instruction of formulaic language on second language writing.
