Turkish-speaking L2 French learners face specific difficulties in writing. Some of these difficulties may be related to the influence of L1. The aim of our research is to elucidate the differences and similarities between certain writing patterns in French and Turkish, in order to try to understand the extent to which L1 writing patterns and grammar are likely to have an impact on written production in EFL. For this purpose, we have constituted a corpus of native and learner writers. The corpus is composed of four groups of writers: native French speakers, native Turkish speakers, Turkish speakers learning FLE at B1 level, and learners at B2 level. For each group of writers, the corpus consists of texts belonging to two different genres: formal letters and e-mails. We propose, in this presentation, to describe the methodological challenges related to the constitution of this corpus under three axes: Longitudinality Representativeness Designing the writing tasks We will discuss the solutions to these issues. While it is not possible to find a solution to all of these challenges and biases, we believe that an awareness of the issues helps to mitigate their impact on the research results. This type of reflection can contribute to reinforcing good practices for the constitution of a written corpus in line with the work of the CORLI consortium, which proposes concrete recommendations for spoken corpora.
