Abstract


The aim of this research is to find out the EFL learners/students’ perception about their writing ability including the factors which can increase and decrease their writing ability based on their perception. This research also aims to find out the EFL learners/students’ perception about the implementation of flipped learning for increasing their writing ability. This research design is One-Shot Survey Design. The researchers applied closed-ended questionnaire and there is explanation for each item as instrument. There are two parts in the questionnaire, the first part is writing part and the second is flipped learning part. The writing part consists of eight statements and the flipped learning part consists of ten statements. This research implemented Likert scale type. The findings were analyzed by calculating percentages for each aspect of the Likert scale (strongly disagree, disagree, slightly agree, agree, and strongly agree). The researchers took the conclusion of the students’ perception about their writing ability and the implementation of flipped learning for increasing their writing ability from viewing the percentages which have been combined with their explanations. There are 35 participants in this research. This research proved that major students have positive attitude toward their English writing ability in generally. On the  other side, they still got some difficulties when they did the English writing activity. The difficulties are because cognitive, psychological, and linguistic factors. Then dominant students also have their own strategies to remove their problems in English writing based on their experience. This research successfully affirmed that the application of flipped learning in Essay Writing II class was successful. Most students gave their positive responses for the implementation of flipped learning in their writing class.
