Abstract

This study was administered to examine the correlation between linguistic language variables and writing proficiency among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in grades 1-4 and grade 8. 100 students were participating, whose writing proficiency was evaluated based on five aspects: content, fluency, sentence formation, usage, and mechanics. Meanwhile, students' linguistic skill was measured using five indicators: cognitive, composition, vocabulary, style, and sociocultural. The relationship between linguistic language skills and writing ability was examined using a developmental scale model, and which results indicated a positive correlation in all grades. The findings of this study add to the body of knowledge regarding the relationship between linguistic language skills and writing ability and its implications.
