Resumen
This study explores the impact of topic interest on EFL learners’ writing performance and their perceptions of writing tasks. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of rubric-based scores and qualitative insights from interviews. The findings revealed that HTI (High Topic Interest) tasks significantly enhanced students’ word count, content quality, and overall performance compared to LTI (Low Topic Interest) tasks. Participants expressed greater ease and engagement with HTI, citing individual interest and prior knowledge as pivotal factors. Additionally, situational interest emerged as a motivator
for engaging with LTI tasks, particularly when supported by clear instructions and tools like Google Translate. The results emphasized the importance of integrating topics of interest into writing tasks to foster motivation, enhance learning outcomes, and support the development of EFL writing skills.
