Abstract

Writing anxiety refers to negative emotions when students are situated in writing activities. Studies have found that negative feelings may hinder students from performing well. Seeing the negative influence of anxiety on performance, this study examines the correlation between writing anxiety and students' writing performance. The participants were sophomore students registered in the essay writing subject. They were recruited using convenience sampling. As many as 43 students from a private university in Indonesia participated in this study. They passed the paragraph writing in the second semester. The data was collected in the essay writing course. SLWAI questionnaire was analyzed using statistical analysis. The descriptive statistics showed that students experience high anxiety, with a mean score of 70.09. Regarding the students' performance, the mean score was 71.77. Furthermore, the analysis using an independent sample t-test revealed that the relationship between writing anxiety and writing performance was insignificant. The significance of this study for teaching purposes and suggestions for further research are also given.
