Abstract/Anotation
The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of English learning development on the
EFL students' rhetoric in writing Indonesia persuasive essay. The fourth-year student of the
English Department of State University of Malang were assigned to write persuasive essays
in two languages, Indonesia and English. The rhetorical strategies used in the Indonesian
persuasive essays of the EFL students were compared with those used in the English
persuasive essays of the same students, and then with those used in the Indonesian persuasive
essay of the third-year students of the Department of Indonesian Language and literature
(ILL students) of the same university. The results showed that there was no significant
difference between the rhetorical strategies used in the Indonesia and English persuasive
essays of the EFL students. Whereas, there was a statistically significant difference between
the rhetorical strategies used in the Indonesian persuasive essays of the EFL students and
those used in the Indonesian persuasive essay of the ILL students. The EFL students' English
learning development was likely to affect their rhetoric in writing Indonesian essay.
