Student perceptions of difficulties in second language writing

Among the four language skills, writing is considered as the most challenging and difficult skill for most of theforeign language learners (Reid, 2002). Moreover, the development of students’ L2 writing can be influenced bymultiple factors such as L1 writing ability, L2 proficiency, and writing experiences in both languages (Kobayashi& Rinnert, 2008; Kubota, 1998). The starting point of this study was the difficulties students face in their writingprocess observed during the in-class writing tasks (Kobayashi & Rinnert, 2008; Kubota, 1998). This study aims tofind out students’ perceptions of difficulties they come across during their writing process in Writing Skills I-IIcourses in which they are supposed to write academic paragraphs and essays.
