<p style="text-align:justify;">The present study investigates the writing strategies used by 135&nbsp;Indonesian English Foreign Language undergraduate students with different&nbsp;English proficiency and the relationship between their English proficiency,&nbsp;indicated by students’ receptive vocabulary knowledge, and the quality of text&nbsp;they produced. The writing strategies&nbsp;questionnaire by Petrić and Czárl (2003) was used to analyze participants’ use&nbsp;of strategies in the three stages of writing: pre-writing, drafting, and&nbsp;revising. Each item in the questionnaire was rated on a 5-point Likert scale.&nbsp;The Vocabulary Size Test (Nation &amp; Beglar, 2007) was used as an indicator&nbsp;of participants’ proficiency in English. The participants were also asked to&nbsp;write an essay in English, which was assessed using the ESL Composition Profile&nbsp;of Jacob et al. (1981). The results of the data analysis showed that most of&nbsp;the students applied 15 of the 38 strategies referred to in the questionnaire.&nbsp;Results also indicate no significant differences in the choice of strategies between students with high versus low English proficiency levels. However,&nbsp;participants’ vocabulary size had only a weak positive correlation with their&nbsp;writing quality. The findings aim primarily to inform Writing courses in&nbsp;English Education majors in Indonesia, though they may also be useful for other&nbsp;English learning contexts.</p>
