Abstract
This preliminary study attempts to examine the types and levels of writing anxiety experienced by Indonesian students studying at secondary schools and universities. Using a survey method, 219 Indonesian EFL students from secondary schools and universities were asked to complete a Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and found that many students across education levels experienced second language writing anxiety at moderate level. Results of SPSS calculation showed that there were significant differences between male and female students towards the types of anxiety. According to the table, it is clearly asserted that cognitive anxiety is significantly influenced by gender (t= 2.661, Sig.=0.008), nor avoidance behavior (t= -0.345, Sig.= 0.730) and somatic anxiety (t= 1.251, Sig.= 0.212). Moreover, male students (M= 3.30) are more likely to be anxious at the type of cognitive anxiety than female students (M= 2.99).
