THE EFFECTS OF PROFICIENCY ON THE WRITING PROCESS OF JORDANIAN EFL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Up to date, very few studies have explored writing processes in the context of EFL. The purpose of the study was to investigate how writing proficiency affects the writing process of a selected group of English language and literature students at Yarmouk University in Jordan. (60) English language and literature students at Yarmouk University in Jordan were asked to complete a questionnaire of writing strategies. Significant results were found in this study. First, writing processes were seldom used among students at Yarmouk University in Jordan. Second, English proficiency affected the writing processes used among students at Yarmouk University in Jordan. The respondents, like most Jordanian university students, usually fail to express complex ideas in their writing as they lack the appropriate vocabulary, both general and technical, as is evident in the respondents’ answers. The lack of appropriate vocabulary on the part of the respondents in turn affects their writing process itself as the findings reveal that these low proficiency respondents did not plan, edit or revised their written essays.
