Abstract
EFL writing is a complex and difficult productive skill for young learners. National assessment of EFL at the end of Year 6 in Slovenia shows that additional research into the various variables affecting EFL writing is needed. The aim of this study is to predict the relationship between gender, place of living, home possessions, years of schooling and parents’ education, and EFLwriting performance for Year 6 students. A representative sample of 790 pupils completed a demographic e-questionnaire and two writing e-tasks. According to ANOVA , statistically significant factors are home possessions, number of Slovenian and English books, years of learning English and mother’s education. Statistically insignificant factors are gender, place of living and father’s education. Demographic factors predict EFL writing performance by 9.9%.
