Abstract

This study examined how sex affects students’ performance in essay writing under Reading-Writing (RW), Think-Pair-Share (TPS), combination (RW&TPS) strategies, and conventional methods in secondary schools in Ondo State Nigeria. The population for the study comprised all the public Senior Secondary School (SSS) II students of the 2019/2020 Session in Ondo State. The sample for this study was 308 SSS II students that were selected from public senior secondary schools, using a multi-stage sampling procedure. The instrument used for this study is the Essay Writing Performance Test (EWPT). The data collected for this study were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that there was a significant sex gap in the performance of students taught essay writing using various strategies in Ondo State’s SSS. Given the importance of sex differences in the performance of students taught essay writing using various strategies, English language teachers should be aware of the differences in the responses of boys and girls in their classes to various essay topics.
