This work reports the results of a study conducted at the Setif University English Department. The aim of the study was two-fold: to explore the factors accounting for undergraduate students' writing difficulties and investigate the effect of strategy training on enhancing their writing performance and positive affect. To achieve this aim, it was hypothesised that students' writing difficulties can be attributed to one or more factors: (meta-) cognitive, linguistic, and/ or affective. It was also hypothesised that strategy training can have positive effects on these students' writing performance and affect. The participants of the study were second-year English students, among whom a group of 24 participated in a training writing course as an experimental group, and a control group was used for comparison. To collect the data for this research, a combination of instruments was used. A pre-test and a pre-questionnaire were used to collect data on the participants' writing background and affective factors. A post-test, a post-questionnaire, and a think-aloud procedure were employed to obtain information on the participants' progress, if any, in their writing performance and affect level, as well as examine their processes and strategy use to confirm the post-study results, qualitatively. The data were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively, and a comparison was carried out to examine the differences between the experimental and control groups as well as between high-and low-achieving participants in terms of the degree of progress they made. The exploratory study findings demonstrated that the participants' writing difficulties were attributed mainly to the (meta-) cognitive, followed by the linguistic and, to a lesser extent, the affective factors, mainly writing apprehension and self-efficacy levels. Moreover, a comparison of the pre- and post-test results of the experimental and control groups has shown that the participants in the former group have improved considerably and with varying levels in their writing performance, strategy use, and affect level, compared to the latter. These results have yielded to the conclusion that explicit writing strategy training contributes to the students' writing development and progress if applied effectively and at a long-term level. |
