Abstract

Based on the results of the observation of need analysis on students of Garuda Junior High School Tangerang, it shows that students' interest in learning English in class is very minimal and their English skills such as Speaking, Reading, Writing, Listening are still relatively low. The result of the questionnaire shows that students need to learn English not only inside the classroom but also outside the classroom to encounter the lack of their understanding towards English lesson. Online learning during the pandemic also has an impact on students, so that they find it difficult to understand the materials provided by the teacher. Thus, learning English does not run smoothly. Therefore, based on the problems mentioned above, the lecturers of English Departement of Faculty of Education and Teacher Training, Syekh Yusuf Islamic University (UNIS) were intended to provide assistance in the formation of English Club activities to improve students' English skills at SMP Garuda Tangerang.

Abstract

Writing is a complex and essential skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning that requires not only linguistic accuracy but also cognitive engagement, interaction, and reflection. This study aims to examine the relationship between constructivist writing instructional practices implemented through Authentic Project-Based Learning (A-PBL) and students? writing performance outcomes. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental one-group pre-test?post-test design, the study involved 35 first-semester undergraduate students enrolled in a Writing course at Universitas Islam Syekh Yusuf. Data were collected through writing performance tests assessing contextual, interactive, and reflective writing, as well as a questionnaire measuring students? engagement in constructivist practices, including brainstorming, collaborative writing, peer feedback, real-world writing tasks, and instructional scaffolding. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, and Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). The findings reveal a statistically significant multivariate relationship between constructivist learning practices and writing performance outcomes, with interactive and reflective writing emerging as the most strongly influenced dimensions. Although contextual writing did not show a direct significant effect, it functioned as a foundational component supporting higher-level writing engagement. The study concludes that constructivist-oriented writing instruction, particularly through A-PBL, effectively promotes interactive and reflective writing development and provides a theoretically grounded approach for enhancing EFL writing performance in higher education contexts.
