Abstract

This study examined how writing apprehension and self-regulated learning influence students’ ability in writing descriptive texts at private Islamic junior high schools in South Tangerang. Using a quantitative survey design, 90 students were chosen through proportional random sampling. Data were collected with three instruments: a questionnaire on learning strategies, a scale of reading interest, and a descriptive writing test. Multiple regression analysis revealed three key findings: (1) writing apprehension significantly affected descriptive writing skills (Sig. = 0.037; t = 2.331), (2) self-regulated learning also had a significant influence (Sig. = 0.019; t = 2.567), and (3) both variables together strongly contributed to writing achievement (Sig. = 0.000; F = 96.161). Overall, the study highlights that internal learning factors and self-regulation are crucial in improving students’ English descriptive writing performance.
