Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the effects of form-focused instruction on students’ writing attitude, motivation and achievement. A pretest-posttest nonequivalent group quasi-experimental research design was used. Two intact classrooms were taken and assigned to the control group (N = 45) and the treatment group (N =45) through simple random sampling technique. Writing achievement tests and Likert scale type questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The data were analyzed through independent samples t-test. The Pearson correlation (r) and Cohen’s d effect size statistics were also included in the analysis. Results from the first questionnaire on students’ writing attitude indicated that there was statistically significant (t (88) = 6.975, p < 0.05) difference between the study groups along with large effect size (d = 1.47). Results from the second questionnaire about the students' writing motivation were also found to be significant (t (88) = 4.220, p < 0.05) along with a moderate effect size (0.88). Findings from the writing tests were also found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) in terms of all the identified measuring rubrics. The implication was that the new conditions carried out in the experimental group had played a significant role in improving the students’ writing attitude, motivation and achievement.
期刊介绍:
Asiatic is the very first international journal on English writings by Asian writers and writers of Asian origin, currently being the only one of its kind. It aims to publish high-quality researches and outstanding creative works combining the broad fields of literature and linguistics on the same intellectual platform. Asiatic will contain a rich collection of selected articles on issues that deal with Asian Englishes, Asian cultures and Asian literatures in English, including diasporic literature and Asian literatures in translation. Articles may include studies that address the multidimensional impacts of the English Language on a wide variety of Asian cultures (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian and others). Subjects of debates and discussions will encompass the socio-economic facet of the Asian world in relation to current academic investigations on literature, culture and linguistics. This approach will present the works of English-trained Asian writers and scholars, having English as the unifying device and Asia as a fundamental backdrop of their study. The three different segments that will be featured in each issue of Asiatic are: (i) critical writings on literary, cultural and linguistics studies, (ii) creative writings that include works of prose fiction and selections of poetry and (iv) review articles on Asian books, novels and plays produced in English (or translated into English). These works will reflect how elements of western and Asian are both subtly and intensely intertwined as a result of acculturation, globalisation and such.
