This Month's Reading
Anxiety is prevalent among university students (Baez, 2005). While many factors contribute to college students’ anxiety, high expectations for writing across the curriculum are likely to contribute to increased writing anxiety, which can affect students’ motivation and willingness to take writing courses. Writing anxiety is also related to students’ poor performances on English writing exams and in jobs requiring writing (Cheng, 2004). Therefore, writing anxiety is a central concern for university faculty.
