This paper sought to find the level of respondents' participation through attendance, the level of their writing skill, significant relationship between attendance and writing skill; and the predictive power and degree of influence of attendance on writing skills. It also encourages the application of total quality management in teaching academic courses such as in writing.

A total of one- hundred twenty-eight students from one private higher education institution (HEI) in the Sultanate of Oman participated in the study. The study adopted a quantitative method of research. The instrument which was designed by the researchers had high internal consistency and was validated by a group of researchers. Likert scaling was used to describe the conditions while frequency, mean, standard deviation were used to analyse the data. The relationship was tested through Pearson r. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents are young learners. Almost half are married; while majority are male; respondents were almost equally distributed in terms of private and government employment while a few have their own business. In regard to work and study conditions, three items were strongl...
