A. Findings

In this section, the researcher presents the findings of the two research questions. The main instrument was the questionnaire followed by the interview to get the deeper answers from the data. The researcher distributed the questionnaire to twenty eight students of Paragraph Writing class D at the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. Since five- minute freewriting was implemented in Paragraph Writing class D, the researcher chose this class to be observed. In the questionnaire, the researcher provided the agreement scales which were in the form of Likert Scale. The respondents had to choose one of the degrees of frequencies that were provided. The researcher distributed the questionnaires to twenty eight students in Paragraph Writing class D. This questionnaire consisted of two parts which were close-ended questions and open- ended questions. The researcher provided fourteen close-ended statements with the degree of frequency: strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, agree 3, and strongly agree 4 and four open-ended questions. The questionnaire aimed to answer the first research question. Besides, the researcher also provided four questions for the interview section to two students. The interview aimed to support the answer of the first research question and answered the second research question. Therefore, the researcher presents the findings by dividing the findings into four parts. 42

1. Students’ Anxious feeling Before Using Five-minute Freewriting

In this part, the researcher investigated students’ anxious feeling before using five-minute freewriting which means at the beginning of Paragraph Writing class. According to Daud and Kasim 2005, “writing anxiety will affect directly to students’ writing performance, which will lead to the quality of the writing” as cited in Iswandari, 2013, p.41. Therefore, it is important to find the factors of EFL students’ writing anxiety. The researcher provided seven general close-ended statements related to the feeling and factors which might influence respondents’ writing anxiety in Paragraph Writing class. The result can be seen in Table 4.1.
