- Abstract
The study aims at assessing Iraqi ESL 4th Year College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences Students' Writing Anxiety. Writing is the most difficult linguistic ability and one of the four main language skills. Writing anxiety is a significant indicator that could hinder writing abilities and lead to performance inefficiency. The idea of writing anxiety involves a fear of the writing process that outweighs the benefits that are expected from being able to write, which may eventually result in relatively long-lasting predispositions to fear, avoid, or dislike writing. The cause of writing anxiety is likely a lack of confidence in one's ability to write or learn to write; this ability is known as writing self-efficacy. Iraqi ESL university students encounter greater difficulties and obstacles in this area than native writers do. The current study has a descriptive design. A scale with (20) items comprises the study's constructed instrument. The sample of the present study has randomly been selected from the College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the university of Baghdad from the fourth-year total (300). Face validity and reliability have been calculated. The results of this investigation indicate that Iraqi university students unluckily faced real challenges and issues in this field. The conclusions and recommendations were then determined.
