In the field of Applied Linguistics, written communication is frequently conceptualized as a dynamic interaction within a communication dyad. This perspective shifts the focus from the text as a static object to the cognitive processes of the participants involved. The writer, acting as the encoder, does not merely record information but performs a series of proactive, audience-centered behaviors. Conversely, the reader, as the decoder, engages in an active meaning-making process rather than passive reception. Successful communication occurs when the writer's strategic choices to minimize cognitive load align with the reader's ability to reconstruct the intended meaning using specific strategies. Considering the role of the Writer as described in the theoretical framework of the communication dyad, identify the behavior that is primarily associated with the drafting phase to guide the reader through the logic of the text.
