Abstract

ESL and EFL students consider writing as challenging in both cognitive and affective aspects. In ideal circumstances, they may suffer from difficulties during the writing process, including anxiety or even tension. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic condition has made the teaching and learning writing more complicated due to limited time and space to meet, to discuss, to collaborate, and to give as well as take feedbacks for their writing. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the types of writing anxiety experienced by EFL students in online Creative Writing class during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia context. The research utilizes a quantitative method, specifically a survey technique. The online survey is administered to 124 participants of English Education Department at the fourth semester. To assess the levels and types of writing anxiety, the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) established by Cheng (2004) was utilized in this study. The SLWAI was the first reliable instrument for assessing writing anxiety, particularly in a second or foreign language context. The results of this study show that the most common type of participants' writing anxiety is Avoidance Behavior (66.13%) then followed by Cognitive Anxiety (20,97%), and Somatic Anxiety (12.90%) as the minor type. The Avoidance Behavior type includes behavioral components of anxiety, such as the avoidance of writing. In conclusion, students of Avoidance Behavior type with have a normal level of nervousness since they seek to avoid writing situations. This study suggests that school teachers be more prepared to create online writing classroom atmosphere.

Abstract

One crucial skill to master by university students related to academic writing activity is paraphrasing skill. However, in Indonesian context, the university students still find paraphrasing challenging. Therefore, this study is intended to explore the use of read, reread, list, compose (RRLC) strategy to enhace the students’ paraphrasing skill in a college context. This study utilizes a qualitative case study design where the data were obtained through observation. The study revealed that RRLC stages can be implemented in learning activity. It engaged the students in activating their prior knowledge, doing an independent reading, discussing, and sharing their understanding about the text before paraphrasing. It assisted them to have better comprehension of the text to be paraphrased. In addition, during the implementation of composing stage in guided practice, the students’ paraphrased works indicated that the students were able to create sentences in different structures—active or passive constructions, use the synonyms, and retain the original meaning. These three skills helped them reduce the similiarity of their paraphrased works from the original version. This study recommends that RRLC strategy be implemented in teaching paraphrasing at college or lower level with some adjustments to meet the students’ basic English skill.
