Abstract : This study aims to explore factors causing difficulties in students’ English writing skills. A descriptive research design was employed for the study. For this study, 110 students were selected through a random sampling technique. Questionnaires and classroom observation were employed as data-gathering tools. The quantitative data were analysed using SPSS version 26. The study identified four major factors causing difficulties in students’ English writing skills. These are student-related, teacher-related, educational environment-related, and textbook-related factors. Besides, the study revealed that students’ writing skills could be improved through sufficient practice, using appropriate approaches to teaching writing skills, reducing the number of students in the classrooms, giving frequent corrective feedback, motivating learners to change their attitude about writing skills, and revising activities in the course book.
