Abstract: Written communication has been claimed as the most difficult skill to acquire. This makes the students feel anxious to be involved in English writing. Understanding of the target language culture cannot be ignored toward the students writing quality. Errors in English writing might be made by the students, too.This study proposes to investigate the phenomenon of writing anxiety level, students’ understanding on the target language culture towards the quality of writing, and errors identification made by EFL students in English writing. The data were collected from classroom observation, interview, questionnaires, and writing test. The result indicated that students felt medium level of writing anxiety. Closer analysis resulted that students’ writing anxiety level were mostly affected by stress apprehension in time management during the writing task. However, they saw writing as a fun classroom activity. In line with this, students’ good understanding of target language culture sign ificantly influenced their English writing quality. Students expressed their ideas straightforward. Errors appeared because they had little knowledge of English vocabulary. Profound analysis showed that some students did not write thesis statement. Some placed it inductively. The number of paragraphs followed the rules. However, no use of discourse markers was still found on some respondents’ writing. (More)
