ABSTRACT

This study aims at investigating the effects of writing prompts on EFL learners' English writing performance. For the study, 173 college students' descriptive writing samples were collected according to the two writing prompts (bare and prose). The writing samples were scored by one native English speaker and one of the authors. The finding from the study was that the students showed significantly different English writing performance according to the writing prompts. In other words, they performed better in their English writing with the prose prompt than with the bare prompt. Besides, the students’ English writing performance differed depending upon their proficiency levels. It suggests that the writing teacher needs to be attentive to providing students with a writing prompt appropriate for the purpose of writing and their writing proficiency.
