This study aimed at investigating the effects of form-focused instruction on students’ writing attitude, motivation and achievement. A pretest-posttest nonequivalent group quasi-experimental research design was used. Two intact classrooms were taken and assigned to the control group (N = 45) and the treatment group (N =45) through simple random sampling technique. Writing achievement tests and Likert scale type questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The data were analyzed through independent samples t-test. The Pearson correlation (r) and Cohen’s d effect size statistics were also included in the analysis. Results from the first questionnaire on students’ writing attitude indicated that there was statistically significant (t (88) = 6.975, p < 0.05) difference between the study groups along with large effect size (d = 1.47). Results from the second questionnaire about the students' writing motivation were also found to be significant (t (88) = 4.220, p < 0.05) along with a moderate effect size (0.88). Findings from the writing tests were also found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) in terms of all the identified measuring rubrics. The implication was that the new conditions carried out in the experimental group had played a significant role in improving the students’ writing attitude, motivation and achievement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
