The study sought to uncover how instructors promote students’ CT in writing classes as perceived by university students and students’ CT performance in writing. The participants were 330 first-year university students selected from Wolkite University using a stratified sampling technique. A questionnaire of Students’ Perceptions of the Promotion of CT in Writing (SPPCTW) and essay writing were used to generate data. The data analysis included descriptive statistics, spearman rho correlation, and multiple regression. The findings revealed that instructors utilized some particular CT stimulating strategies. These included allowing students to work collaboratively, make arguments, and examine the role of different expressions, words, and ideas before writing. They allowed students to perform argumentative and expository writing activities through the process approach. Contrarily, the students reported limited chances to challenge instructors' perspectives, generate ideas from different sources, and do self-reflection. The result further indicated a positive and statistically significant relationship between the students' perceptions of instructors' promotion of CT in writing classes and students' CT performance in writing. Besides, the three factors (CI, IM, and NWA) had a statistically significant and positive impact on students' CT performance in writing. Yet, the impact of SFP was negative and not statistically significant. These findings could provide insights to different concerned bodies in the English language teaching field.","PeriodicalId":44950,"journal":{"name":"3L-Language Linguistics Literature-The Southeast Asian Journal of English Language Studies","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136026981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The Effect of Analytic Text-Based Writing Strategies on ESL Argumentative Writing among Malaysian Form-Six Students in Sabah, Malaysia","authors":"Rosalind Joannes, Asmaa AlSaqqaf","doi":"10.17576/3l-2023-2902-12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17576/3l-2023-2902-12","url":null,"abstract":"Producing effective and quality academic writing such as argumentative writing requires more than the regular writing ability, but rather analytical writing which would increase argumentation skills, and analytical thinking and promote higher cognitive skills. This study is conducted in response to a problem that exists within the Malaysian education setting where students have difficulties in presenting and expanding ideas of viewpoints convincingly, lack of knowledge of the subject matter, and insufficient linguistic competence. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the effect of analytic text-based writing strategies on the students’ argumentative performance by proposing a conceptual framework that integrates the approach of text-based instruction and the writing model by Hyland (2003) that emphasizes the genre approach of teaching writing. This study will employ a mixed-method research approach and a quasi-experimental research design with a purposive sampling where two groups of FormSix students will be involved in the study. The experimental group will be assigned to carry out a 12-week intervention program and the control group with regular classroom practices. Pre-test and post-test will be conducted on both groups before and after the intervention. These features of analytic text-based writing which largely focuses on reading and writing skills would be expected to bring a great improvement in the writing performance among Malaysian ESL learners in Sabah.","PeriodicalId":44950,"journal":{"name":"3L-Language Linguistics Literature-The Southeast Asian Journal of English Language Studies","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74205070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
