Description

Abstract
This research aims to provide empirical evidence on the impact of the freewriting approach on EFL students’ writing ability. The study involved 95 freshmen at Vinh University, who were enrolled in the standard English program. One class was randomly selected as the control group, while the experimental group practiced freewriting regularly over a specified period. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests to measure changes in writing ability. The findings demonstrate that the freewriting approach significantly enhances the writing skills of EFL learners, improving their fluency, lexical variety, and overall writing quality. Additionally, students reported increased motivation and reduced anxiety towards writing tasks. These results suggest that integrating freewriting into EFL curricula can be an effective instructional strategy for English language teachers, providing practical implications for enhancing EFL writing curricula and student outcomes.
