Abstract

Writing apprehension has been considered as one of the affective factors that has a negative impact on foreign language leaners’ performance in writing. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate how writing apprehension effects Libyan EFL university students’ writing at the Faculty of Education-Janzour. The participants of this study were 36 female students majored in English. They were enrolled in the third semester of the academic year (2014-2015). The data of this study was generated from an adapted version of Daly and Miller’s Writing Apprehension Test (WAT) by Gungle and Taylor (1989). The results revealed that students have been suffering from a high level of writing apprehension. Accordingly, the English writing instructors have been recommended to apply the appropriate methods for eliminating the impact of writing apprehension.
