摘要：Writing is a demanding skill which entails writers to sync and blend with some writing elements such as vocabulary, syntax, grammar, sentence structure, strategies and lexical. This skill requires the ESL writers to be adequately proficient and expressive in using the language while writing the essays. In the ESL writing, writers rely on some strategies to regulate them the entire writing process. One of the known strategies that helps the writers to compose is Metacognitive writing strategies. Metacognitive writing strategies establish three main components namely planning, monitoring, and evaluating and they function as helpful writing regulator, enabling the ESL writers to excel in their writing. However, there are some variations in the act of using planning, monitoring, and evaluating by male and female writers. Hence, this study was conducted to explore on how male and female writers plan, monitor, and evaluate their writing and to see how these strategies assist them completely. It is a crucial for the writers to get acknowledged of these three components and know on how to apply them in their writing. To obtain the pertinent data, a male and a female student were selected from one public university in Johor to participate in the study. This qualitative study used semi-structured interview as the main method in collecting pertinent data. From the findings, it was found that both male and female ESL writers had different ways and techniques when planning, monitoring, and evaluating their writing. Results of this study have given a great impact on teaching and learning of ESL academic writing.
