This study reports the essay writing processes and strategies of an English as Second Language (ESL) skilled writer and an ESL unskilled writer. On the basis of the comparative study through the retrospective reports, interviews, and essay writing, results indicated that the skilled writer and the unskilled writer underwent different processes and strategies in their essay writing: the skilled writer used macrostrategies to convey the main idea coherently at a macro level, while the unskilled writer focused on microstrategies to put together the sentence meaning at a micro level. In addition, the skilled writer and the unskilled writer exhibited differences in the metacognitive awareness on the control of essay writing processes and the allocation of strategies, and in their dependence on their first language. These results, therefore, suggest that the comparative data of a skilled writer and an unskilled writer on essay writing processes and strategies are useful tools for improving and refining the essay writing of ESL writers (159).
