Abstract
The current research investigated the effect of an inquiry learning based program (ILBP) on EFL
freshmen‘s writing performance. The study followed a quasi-experimental one-group design. The
participants of the research were 40 EFL freshmen at the Faculty of Education, New Valley
University during the second semester of 2020/2021. A pre/posttest was prepared by the
researcher to measure participants’ writing performance. At the beginning of the research, the
participants were pretested. After conducting the experiment for two months, the researcher
conducted the post-test on the research participants. A paired samples t-test showed that there
was a statistically significant difference between the mean score of the pretest and the posttest in
favor of the posttest. This result indicated that the ILBP had a significant impact on developing
EFL Freshmen‘s writing performance skills. It was recommended that inquiry-based learning be
used in teaching writing performance to EFL majors in university settings.
