Abstract

Writing is a skill that is necessary for success in the academic world. Writing is a necessary activity in education that fosters significant growth in both teaching and learning. However, good writing requires a variety of skills, including a wide vocabulary, the capacity for contextual understanding, analytical strength, the capacity for inference, the capacity for critical thought, and much more. This skill is unquestionably difficult to acquire, especially when writing in English, which naturally puts more pressure and anxiety on students. This study was designed to investigate the types and levels of writing anxiety experienced by EFL students taking an academic writing course at an English department at a university in Jambi, regardless of their gender. The instrument of this study was a close-ended questionnaire that was adopted from Cheng (2004). It consists of 22 statements about different types of anxiety (cognitive, somatic, and avoidance behavior). There were 225 students who participated in the study. Majority of them 82.2% (185 students) were female and only 17.8% (40 students) were male. The results of the study indicated that there are differences in the level of anxiety experienced by male and female students. The highest score of the two genders is in the somatic anxiety type; namely, women have a mean score of 3.36 and men have a mean score of 3.07. Although both have high levels, there is a slight difference in numbers, so women experience higher levels of anxiety than men, and the type of anxiety they have is somatic anxiety.

The data obtained from this research is processed by calculating the gain or difference between the pretest and post-test scores.

Abstract

Argumentative writing is a genre of writing that is considered difficult by EFL students at the university level. This study aimed to investigate problems faced by EFL students in writing an argumentative essay and to explain their strategies to overcome the problems. The participants of this study were ten fifth-semester students of the 2023-2024 academic year at the English Education Study Program of a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. A qualitative research design with a case study approach was applied. A semi-structured interview was conducted to collect the main data, and document analysis was carried out to support it. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that problems faced by EFL students in writing an argumentative essay include: 1) argument development problems, such as generating and developing arguments, organizing or structuring arguments, creating an argumentative thesis statement, and a lack of counterclaim and refutation knowledge, and 2) research or source integration problems, such as finding supporting evidence and a lack of writing citation knowledge. Meanwhile, strategies used by EFL students to overcome the problems include 1) information acquisition strategies by reading a lot of sources, watching videos, and looking at essay examples, 2) technology utilization strategies by using AI applications, and 3) review and improvement strategies by re-checking and revision and asking for feedback.

Abstract

Critical thinking is defined as a pivotal role in students' academic writing process, but in practice, the application of this skill often becomes quite a complex challenge for students as they formulate new ideas, analyse, evaluate, and synthesize information, and finally draw conclusions. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the factors that influence EFL students' abilities and to investigate the strategies they use to develop critical thinking skills in academic writing, especially seventh-semester students majoring in English at a public university in Jambi. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were gathered by using semi-structured interviewed with ten students. The researchers examined and interpreted the data collected using Braun and Clarke's stages of thematic analysis. The research findings indicate that EFL students face several factors that affect their ability to develop critical thinking in academic writing. These factors include personal competence issues such as a lack of topic knowledge, linguistic challenges, including difficulties with grammar and vocabulary; and psychological barriers, such as low motivation, lack of self-confidence, and anxiety during supervision. Despite these challenges, EFL students employ various strategies to overcome obstacles in developing critical thinking skills. These strategies include self-management, the use of technological support, cultivating a conducive learning atmosphere, leveraging support systems, and managing tutoring schedule effectively.
