This study aimed to investigate the impact of teaching developmental grammatical errors on translator trainees' L2 paragraph writing ability. After the administration of Oxford Placement Test (OPT), 40 out of 100 undergraduate translator trainees were selected from the Islamic Azad University of Tonekabon branch. Further, the participants were divided into an experimental and a control groups. A pre-test of paragraph writing ability was administered to both groups and the participants were asked to write a paragraph about the selected topic. Then, the experimental group received 5 sessions of treatments on teaching developmental grammatical errors extracted from their previous writing performance while the control group received a placebo. After five sessions of the treatments, the post-test of paragraph writing ability was administered in which the participants in both groups were asked to write a paragraph about a selected topic. Three raters corrected the paragraphs. The scores were analyzed using the SPSS software by applying Independent sample t-test and Pearson correlation. The findings indicated that subjects in the experimental group showed significant improvement in their writing performance.

This study aimed to examine the effect of test anxiety on the students' performance, especially their writing fluency. The statistics were used for one study group in the current study to investigate the relationship between test anxiety and writing fluency. The researcher randomly nominated twenty-five primarystage students for the study (N = 25), utilizing various tools to collect data and to measure the impact of test anxiety on writing fluency. The study collected its data through the use of a writing fluency test, a writing fluency rubric, and a test anxiety scale. The data was quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed using the correlational design. The quantitative data was interpreted using the (SPSS) program, especially the descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation. While describing and comparing the students' results to find reasonable rationale during the qualitative analysis, the study findings confirmed that there is a reverse correlation between test anxiety and the primary stage students' writing fluency. In other words, there is a negative correlation between writing fluency and test anxiety.
