Abstract

Teaching is one of the productive skills in English language writing, which involves developing students' linguistic competence, which many ESL teachers find difficult. The study's main goal is to examine the challenges faced by ESL teachers in teaching writing skills to students in university classrooms. This study aims to identify problems faced by teachers of Arts faculty at the Universities level. The researcher used questionnaires to survey teachers' concerns about teaching writing skills. The researcher used a descriptive method to report the problems encountered by the sampled teachers in teaching writing skills. The survey had 12 questions. This study's findings not only revealed the problematic factors but also suggested some practical solutions. This study's findings and recommendations may help teachers reflect on their teaching practices and assist authorities in supporting teachers' efforts to improve student writing skills.
