Abstract

This study investigates the effects of four-square writing on students’ writing performance. Quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The participants were the eleventh-grade students of uppersecondary vocational education. A written test was used to measure students’ performance. The results revealed that the mean scores of students who learned writing using four-square writing were significantly higher than those who did not. It also shows the writing performance of the experimental group in each aspect of writing, namely content, organisation, language use, and mechanics improved. It indicated that the four-square writing technique effectively increased EFL students’ writing performance. © 2024, Adam Marszalek Publishing House. All rights reserved.
