Abstract
This study investigates how the presence of different variables plays on a SOLO program implemented in the essay writing class of EFL learners. The program was devised keeping in mind the EFL curriculum and learners’ proficiency and implemented on an experimental group of sixty randomly selected EFL learners enrolled in English departments at two universities: Al-Balqa Applied University in Jordan and Majmaah University in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A control group was also included in the study to verify the effects of the intervention more lucidly. The latter received traditional instruction. Writing performance of both the groups was compared using an independent sample t-test to examine statistical differences between the means of the two groups in pre-post-test models. Results indicated significant statistical differences in the performance of the two groups in favor of the experimental group. Based on the results of the study, the study makes pertinent recommendations.
