Abstract
Well-developed writing performance in students’ first and additional languages is the key to their future professional success, but due to its complexity, it is difficult to achieve. In the period from 2021 to 2025, approximately half of Year 6 students, as the upper-age of young learners consistently showed low results in EFL writing proficiency in the EFL national Sandars assessment tests in Slovenia. To predict the relationship between the social factors selected and the students’ EFL writing performance, a quantitative study has been conducted with a representative sample of 790 students. The students completed a contextual questionnaire and two standardized productive writing tasks. The data were analysed by multiple regression. The main finding confirms that more exposure to EFL leads to better writing performance. Practical recommendations for teachers include raising students’ exposure to EFL, critical judgement of EFL productive writing tasks, offering the learning of more language, and maintaining good practices.

Title:Vloga družbenih spremenljivk pri pisanju v angleščini kot tujem jeziku pri učencih 6. razreda
Abstract:
Dobro razvita pisna zmožnost v prvem in dodatnih jezikih je ključ do prihodnjega poklicnega uspeha učencev, vendar pa je zaradi svoje kompleksnosti težko dosegljiva. Približno polovica šestošolcev kot mlajših učencev zgornje starostne meje je na slovenskem nacionalnem preverjanju znanja iz angleščine kot tujega jezika v obdobju od 2021 do 2025 dosegla nizke rezultate iz pisne zmožnosti v angleščini kot tujem jeziku. S ciljem napovedati povezanosti družbenih spremenljivk in uspešnosti učencev pri pisni zmožnosti v angleščini je bila izvedena kvantitativna študija na reprezentativnem vzorcu 790 učencev. Učenci so rešili kontekstualni vprašalnik in dve standardizirani produktivni pisni nalogi, podatki pa so bili analizirani z multiplo regresijo. Ključna ugotovitev raziskave je potrditev, da močnejša izpostavljenost učencev angleščini vodi k boljšim rezultatom iz pisne zmožnosti. Aplikativna priporočila med drugim vključujejo povečanje izpostavljenosti učencev angleščini, kritično presojo ustreznosti prostih pisnih sestavkov v angleščini, omogočanje učenja več jezikov v šoli ter ohranjanje dobre prakse.

Keywords:družbene spremenljivke, kvantitativna raziskava, mlajši učenci zgornje starostne meje, napoved, pisna zmožnost v angleščini kot tujem jeziku, tuji jeziki, angleščina
