The Effect of Students’ Attitudes Towards Writing an English Composition on their Level of Achievement
Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper tries to explore third year students‟ attitudes towards writing a composition in English as a foreign language to give insights into how they feel, think and behave vis-a-vis writing; and more importantly, to show the relationship between these attitudes and learners‟ level of achievement in this skill. To test my hypotheses, a questionnaire was administered to 3rd year students along with a short interview with the writing teacher of the investigated group. In addition to that, a quantitative analysis was undertaken. The paper demonstrates that students have a negative attitude towards writing a composition in English, and this has a negative effect on their level of achievement.
