Abstract

Writing is one of the academic competencies that are central vital competence for students to master. It also has become a competence promoting at the university level. However, several studies reveal that many students have not mastered this competency comprehensively even after completing their studies. Mastering writing skills is difficult as it is affected by many factors. Critical thinking is reported to be one of the variables involving in the mastery of this competence. For this reason, this study aims to explore the students’ performance in writing argumentative essays and critical thinking competence. In addition, this study also examines the relationship between the two variables. This research was conducted in March-July 2021 on 54 students of the French Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Language and Arts at the Universitas Negeri Jakarta. It applies a quantitative approach using the path analysis method to measure the direct and indirect relationship between variables. Argumentative essay writing and critical thinking tests are used as the instruments in collecting the data. The finding suggests that critical thinking skills involve in the students’ performance in writing an argumentative essay but it is found that the affect is indirect.
