Abstract

Writing anxiety is one of the most common affective challenges faced by students learning a foreign language, particularly English as a Foreign Language (EFL). It can negatively affect students’ writing performance, confidence, and emotional well-being, often discouraging them from engaging in writing activities. Previous studies have shown that EFL learners frequently experience anxiety when required to produce written texts in English, especially under time constraints and evaluative conditions.This study aimed to examine the levels and types of writing anxiety experienced by eleventh-grade students at SMA Islam Az-Zahrah Palembang. A quantitative study with a survey method was conducted, and data were collected using the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) developed by Cheng (2004). The participants consisted of 115 eleventh-grade students.The findings indicated that most students experienced a high level of writing anxiety. Among the types of anxiety, cognitive anxiety was the most dominant, followed by somatic anxiety, and finally, avoidance behavior. Students frequently reported fears of negative evaluation, making mistakes, and being compared to others, as well as physical symptoms such as nervousness, trembling, and tension, along with tendencies to avoid writing tasks.These results suggest that writing anxiety remains a significant issue among EFL students. It is recommended that teachers create supportive classroom environments to help learners build confidence and improve their English writing skills.
