Abstract

English composition has caused heavy pressure on Chinese junior high school students. Those who have not been fully exposed to systematic English writing training are more likely to encounter anxiety. However, this is also a learning opportunity for students to improve their English proficiency. Therefore, how to reduce their English writing anxiety is worth studying. There was relatively little research on junior high school students in previous studies. Thus, this paper focuses on analyzing the causes and solutions to the English writing anxiety among this group. Causes are divided into internal and external ones. The internal causes range from students’ self-efficacy and writing ability to writing strategies. External factors include teachers’ teaching methods, feedback approaches, and the educational environment. To tackle these problems, students can cultivate their interests in English writing and apply self-regulating strategies. Teachers can help learners with specific strategies and create a comfortable classroom atmosphere. With theoretical and practical significance, this study may not only make up for the deficiency of related literature to a certain extent, but also guide students and teachers for better education.
