Abstract EN

This paper tries to explore third year students‟ attitudes towards writing a composition in English as a foreign language to give insights into how they feel, think and behave vis-a-vis writing; and more importantly, to show the relationship between these attitudes and learners‟ level of achievement in this skill.

To test my hypotheses, a questionnaire was administered to 3 rd year students along with a short interview with the writing teacher of the investigated group.

In addition to that, a quantitative analysis was undertaken.

The paper demonstrates that students have a negative attitude towards writing a composition in English, and this has a negative effect on their level of achievement.
