The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the planned writing model on the writing anxiety, self-efficacy and Turkish course achievement of those learning Turkish as a foreign language. For this purpose, a 6-week planned writing model was applied in the research. The study group of the research consisted of 32 students studying at a public university in Ankara and taking a B2 level Turkish education course for foreigners. The data of the study were collected through the "Writing Anxiety Scale for Those Learning Turkish as a Foreign Language" developed by ªen and Boylu (2017) and the "Writing Skill Self-Efficacy Scale for Foreigners Learning Turkish as a Second Language" developed by Buÿükikiz (2012). According to the findings, there was a significant difference in writing anxiety and writing skills self-efficacy scores by gender variable, while no difference was found by regular reading in native language. In addition, it was observed that the planned writing model had a positive effect on students' writing anxiety, writing skills self-efficacy and level achievement in favour of the post-test.
