Abstract

The main aim of this study was to see if a significant relationship existed among Iranian EFL learners’ Learning Styles, Writing strategies and Writing anxiety. To this effect, 183 EFL learners studying English in three language institutes from the upper intermediate and advanced proficiency levels were selected based on convenient nonrandom sampling procedure. They completed the Kolb Learning Style (KLS), the Inventory of Learning Strategies for writing (ILS) and the Foreign Language Writing anxiety Scale (FLWAS) self-report questionnaires. However, after the initial screening, 21 cases were discarded as their answers were incomplete, leaving 162 participants in the final sample. The relationship among EFL learners learning styles, Writing strategies and Writing anxiety were analyzed using the Spearman rank order coefficient of correlation. Since, the results indicated statistically significant relationships among them, multiple regression analyses were run to see if significant predictors of EFL learners’ Writing anxiety could be identified. Interestingly, the analyses showed that pragmatist learning style made the strongest statistically significant unique contribution to predict Writing anxiety while activist learning style failed to make such a significant contribution. To clarify, the negative relationship suggests that the more pragmatic the preferred learning style is, the lower the Writing anxiety. Furthermore, only memory writing strategy made a statistically significant unique contribution to predicting Writing anxiety while the other five Writing strategies did not. To explain further, their positive relationship implies that learners who apply memory strategies more, face higher levels of Writing anxiety. Thus, this study identified learners’ pragmatist learning style and memory writing strategy as significant predictors of Writing anxiety in the EFL context. As a result, not only does this study provide statistical evidence of the relationship among these variables but it also stresses the importance of EFL learners’ Language learning styles and Writing strategies to their Writing anxiety.
