Abstract | This study evaluated essay writing among Senior Secondary School Arabic students in Kwara State, Nigeria. This study evaluated the content, organization, expression and mechanics aspects of essay writing among senior secondary school Arabic students on the basis of gender and school ownership in Kwara State, Nigeria. A total number of 174 students were sampled using cluster sampling technique because few students offer Arabic Language at Senior Secondary School in the state. 2013 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) Arabic essay writing test was adapted for data collection while descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, the null hypotheses were tested with the use of inferential statistics of t-test. Findings from the study revealed among others, that the proficiency of senior secondary school Arabic students in the content, organization, expression and mechanical accuracy aspects of Arabic essay writing was below average in Kwara State, Nigeria. Findings also revealed that, there was no significant difference in the proficiency of Arabic students in essay writing on the basis of gender and school ownership in Kwara State. It was then recommended among others, that students should be constantly engaged in reading textbooks and story books such as novels, newspapers, etc. as well writing stories, letters, and articles. This might help to improve their proficiency in outlining and constructing good contents, organization, expression, as well as fine-tuning and perfecting their mechanics in essay writing.
