English Writing Skills in Bengali Medium Secondary Schools of West Bengal: Analysing Class, Gender, Residence and Generation Differences

Abstract The present study investigates differences in English writing skill dimensions – Content, Organisation, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Mechanics – among Bengali medium secondary school students in West Bengal, with a specific focus on class level, gender, residence, and generational status. Adopting a descriptive survey design, the study drew a sample of 1,204 students (723 from Class IX and 481 from Class X) through simple random sampling. Data were analysed using SPSS version 20.0, employing descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t-test) to test the formulated hypotheses. The findings revealed no significant difference between Class IX and Class X students, indicating minimal improvement in writing proficiency across grades. However, notable variations emerged across other demographic factors. Female students outperformed males in all writing dimensions, suggesting higher linguistic and organisational competence. Urban students demonstrated superior performance compared to their rural counterparts, particularly in content development and vocabulary, reflecting contextual and resource-related advantages. The most pronounced difference appeared between first-generation and non–first-generation learners, with the latter exhibiting markedly higher writing proficiency across all dimensions. The study highlights the importance of addressing socio-educational inequalities and recommends targeted pedagogical interventions to enhance writing skills among disadvantaged student groups.
