摘要：The study assessed the writing efficacy of students enrolled for the post-graduate studies at a University of Technology. It sought to answer the following questions: (a) What is the level of writing efficacy of post-graduate students enrolled in the three programmes, namely, B.Ed.(Hons), PGCE and ACE programmes.; (b) Are there differences in the writing efficacy of these students.; (c) To what contextual variables can the differences in the writing efficacy (if any) of these students be attributed.; and (d) What intervention strategies can be employed to help students in these programmes. This is an exploratory and descriptive survey. Eighty- four students participated in the study. The study found that students lack understanding of concepts and terminology related to the discipline such as spelling, grammar, referencing, punctua- tion, and writing coherently and logically. It can be concluded that students enrolled for the post-graduate studies have a low level of writing efficacy.
