Summary, etc. The present study aimed at investigating the effect of journal writing and sentence combining practice on the development of the writing of sixth level grade English as a foreign language (EFL) students. The subjects (n=43) were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups and a factorial design was employed. Existing scores on the school's first semester writing achievement test were used to determine the writing proficiency levels of the subjects. Data were collected through administering two writing tests, a one hour test and a 15 minutes free writing test. The results on these tests were analyzed using the T-unit analysis to measure the writing fluency, complexity and accuracy Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) and two multivariate analyses of variances (MANOVA) were run in order to address the questions raised in the study Results showed that there was no significant difference between journal writing and sentence combining practice in improving the writing fluency, complexity and accuracy of the students The MANOVA test run to test the interaction between the treatment (journal writing vs. sentence combining) and the writing proficiency levels (low vs high) on the writing fluency, complexity and accuracy showed no significant results. Limitations of the study were discussed and recommendations for future research were made.
