Abstract

Academic writing is a fundamental competency in higher education, requiring students to develop structured arguments, integrate credible sources, and maintain coherence throughout their writing. This study investigates the academic writing strategies employed by high-achieving students, focusing on five key themes: pre-writing strategies, effective use of academic sources, drafting and structuring arguments, revision and self-editing techniques, and time management. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research was conducted at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang, involving 15 fifth-semester students from the English Education Department who had successfully completed the Academic Writing course with outstanding academic performance. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in students’ writing strategies. The findings reveal that high-achieving students systematically engage in pre-writing planning, utilize effective citation and paraphrasing techniques, structure their arguments logically and coherently, revise their work through multiple drafts and peer feedback, and employ disciplined time management strategies to optimize their writing process. These results suggest that explicit instruction in academic writing strategies, integrated peer-review practices, and the use of digital writing tools can significantly enhance students' academic writing proficiency. The study provides pedagogical implications for improving academic writing instruction, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts.

Abstract

This case study investigates the impact of free writing activities on students' confidence in writing English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Conducted at SMPN 5 Anggeraja with 20 students, the study examines how the integration of free writing influences students' writing confidence, comfort with writing tasks, perceptions of their writing abilities, and reduction in writing anxiety. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews conducted after three free writing sessions, which were observed by the researcher across 16 classroom meetings. The findings revealed that free writing significantly improved students' confidence in writing, as many students felt freer to express their ideas without the pressure of grammatical accuracy. Additionally, the study found that students became more comfortable with writing tasks, with 17 out of 20 students reporting increased engagement in writing activities. Students also reported enhanced perceptions of their writing abilities, with many expressing improved fluency and organization. Furthermore, a majority of students experienced a reduction in writing anxiety, as they began to approach writing tasks with greater ease. These findings suggest that free writing is an effective method for fostering writing confidence and reducing anxiety in EFL classrooms. The study underscores the importance of providing students with opportunities for low-pressure writing activities that prioritize content and self-expression over grammatical accuracy.
