| dc.description.abstract | Writing is an important skill for Indonesian students learning English as a foreign language, but many
still face problems such as low confidence, anxiety, and difficulties with grammar and organization.
This study aims to find out the level of students’ self-efficacy in English writing and to give insights for
teachers to improve their teaching. The research used a quantitative descriptive method with a total
population sampling of 104 students from a private high school in Yogyakarta. Data were collected
through the English Writing Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, adapted from Sun & Wang (2020), and
analyzed using SPSS. There are 27 items with five dimensions. The results showed that students felt
most confident in using English for practical writing tasks (M=5.68). Ideation (M=5.647) refers to their
ability to organize, develop, and elaborate ideas for a writing task. Following this, organization of
students shows their ability to organize ideas properly and arrange paragraphs coherently in writing
formats (M=5.609), self-efficacy for Self-Regulation (SE-SRL) indicates that students have high-level
confidence in their writing process (M= 5.473), while grammar received (M=3.41) showing more
challenges and structural rules, mostly fear of making mistakes, lead to them losing confidence in their
ability to use English correctly. They require more targeted grammar support to improve both accuracy
and belief in writing. | en_US |
