Difficulties in Practicing Academic Writing in Arabic Facing Second Language Learners and their Causes
2023
Overview
This article is intended to investigate the academic writing difficulties facing Arabic second language learners and their causes. It attempted to explore the following points: the extent to which certain challenges have an impact on non-Arabic students mastering academic writing skills. It also explored the main reasons that caused such difficulties. Finally, it presented some suggested solutions and pedagogical implications to assist learners to cope well with such difficulties and challenges and improve their writing production. Forty five postgraduate students participated in filling out a questionnaire containing thirteen statements concerning the difficulties and ten statements concerning the difficulties' causes. It was revealed that participants faced difficulties in choosing the appropriate academic words, using mechanics of writing (spelling), using mechanics of writing (punctuations), organizing my ideas, writing coherent paragraphs, summarizing ideas taken from other sources and paraphrasing ideas taken from other sources. The results also showed that such difficulties were caused by ineffective feedback provided by instructors, low Arabic language proficiency, reliance on first language in generating ideas which results in weak writing, lack of learner's motivation and lack of writing practice opportunity.
