Writing is a fundamental skill in modern English language education in China, serving as a means of language output and a crucial criterion for evaluating English proficiency. As teaching reforms progress and the college entrance examination system evolves, the significance of English writing has grown, accompanied by heightened expectations for high school students' writing abilities. However, the reality of high school classrooms often reveals students' apprehension and anxiety towards writing, impeding their progress in this area. Consequently, this study aims to delve into the origins of writing anxiety in high school English classrooms and propose constructive teaching suggestions to alleviate students' anxiety, ultimately enhancing the quality and proficiency of their English writing.
