Abstract

Understanding the intricate relationship between personality traits and language
proficiency has been a subject of growing interest in English education field. This study
delves into the writing abilities of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students,
examining how introvert and extrovert personality traits may influence their written
expression. This research employs qualitative descriptive research design. There were 34
EFL students in Senior High School involved in this study. To collect the data, observation,
questionnaire, and test were used. Further analysis uncovered specific traits associated with
each group. Extroverted students were often observed to appear lazy in their approach to
assignments, displaying a tendency towards being unfocused during the completion of
writing tasks, and frequently completing assignments in a hurried manner, possibly due to
their outgoing nature. Conversely, introverted students displayed enthusiasm and interest
in their writing tasks, showcasing a focused demeanor while working on assignments, and
approaching their tasks with care and meticulous attention to detail. Implications for EFL
pedagogy and the understanding of individual differences in language learning contexts are
discussed, emphasizing the importance of tailored instructional strategies that acknowledge
and capitalize on diverse learner personalities.
