Abstract
English language proficiency is highly important in today’s globalized world, and Saudi Arabia recognizes the need for its students to acquire strong English writing skills. However, Saudi secondary school students often face numerous challenges relating to the development of English writing abilities. This research paper analyses the multifaceted factors (i.e. linguistic, sociocultural, and educational) influencing Saudi secondary school students’ English writing proficiency. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 278 Saudi secondary school students by means of an online questionnaire. The results showed that linguistic factors had a positive effect on students’ English writing in Saudi Arabia, that sociocultural factors had a significant influence, and that educational factors also had some effect. By addressing these factors and implementing the recommended strategies, educators, policymakers, and stakeholders can work towards enhancing English writing instruction and, thus, improve students’ English writing proficiency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
