“…If one lacks vocabulary, one will have problems in fully expressing themselves on writing [3]. Students must think about the concepts, the logical connections between the ideas, how the ideas are organized, the grammar, the word choice, and the writing features at the same time when producing a composition [4].

It's crucial to approach writing with positivity. Students who approach writing in a positive way will complete the writing task well. However, little study has been done to examine the validity of the writing attitude scale. This study aims to examine the validity of the writing attitude scale that Podsen established in 1997. The design of this study is a correlational study because its purpose is to find out the writing scale internal consistency. The instrument used is the writing attitude scale (WAS). The population of the study was the Indonesian Language Education Department students in the Faculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Brawijaya. The data are in the form of numbers in ordinal scale. To analyze the data, the researchers used Cronbach alpha in SPSS 25. The result of the study shows that the internal consistency of Podsen's writing attitude scale is high. This implies that Podsen's WAS is applicable and highly reliable in terms of its internal consistency to measure the students' writing attitude.

Language attitude and orientation are considered as one of the most important components in the success of learning a target language. The learning context in which students learn foreign language is also considered as variable which contribute to promote teaching and learning process. In addition, individual variable such as gender has its role in students' foreign language learning process. Such argument inspired the researchers of this study to investigate the attitude and orientation of the non-English major students in Mulawarman University towards learning English, and to know if their attitudes are influenced by their gender and contextual factors. This study is quantitative in nature and two sets of questionnaire were used in collecting the data. The findings of this study may be helpful for EFL teachers and curriculum designers in terms of giving additional arguments on the imperative of teaching English course to non-English major students in university context in Indonesia. In addition, it is hoped that this study will broaden the interest of other researchers and teachers to find out how language attitudes and orientation of non-English major students and their correlated factors (i.e. gender, contextual factors may contribute to students' successfulness in learning English.
