Abstract

This study was conducted to examine if gender and self-efficacy affected the writing performance of Indonesian EFL learners in college level. The research sample consisted of 150 students, comprising 67 males and 83 females. The sample was selected using convenience sampling technique, and all participants signed an informed consent form. This correlational study employed statistic analysis to determine the relationships among independent and dependent variables. Statistical analysis involved Pearson correlation test, independent t-test, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results showed that writing performances of male and female groups were significantly different. However, the evidence strengthening the claim that male and female learners perform differently in terms of linguistic aspects of written outcomes was limited. Gender proceeded to explain considerable differences in writing performance, in addition to composition skills.

Abstract

Writing is hard for students who are learning English; they often find it challenging to transform what is on their mind in writing. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between the writing test and assessment writing through argumentative writing. Data was analyzed using the correlation test to determine the close relationship between independent and dependent variables. This study involved 100 students from the Department of English Education at the University of Riau, Indonesia. The results showed that the writing test and assessment writing was closely related, as evidenced by the influence and significance between the writing test and assessment writing, which was tested through argumentative writing. The results revealed that the writing test and assessment writing have similar results. Overall, both variables are equally important and related.
