“…Moreover, numerous studies indicated that inadequate vocabulary is a significant obstacle that prevents students from producing high-quality writing among ESL primary school students (e.g. Daud et al, 2021;Ghulamuddin et al, 2021;Kumaran & Krish, 2021).

Writing is regarded as one of the most vital skills in the current digital era, as it is necessary for academic success, career advancement and interpersonal connections. However, ESL learners often encounter difficulties in acquiring them. Past studies revealed two predominant approaches to teach writing skills: product approach and process approach. Additionally, challenges like mother tongue interference, students' lack of vocabulary and motivation issues along with writing anxiety could hinder the implementation of effective instructions to teach writing skills. Therefore, this study intends to identify Malaysian teachers' perceptions on effective instructional practices and the challenges they faced when instructing writing skills among the upper primary school students. To gather data, a survey will be administered, with participants selection guided by purposive sampling. To analyse the collected data, the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software V.27 will be employed which will later derive descriptive statistics, presented in tables that include percentages, means, and standard deviations. The findings of the paper would assist teachers in refining their instructional practices and selecting optimal approaches for enhancing their students' writing skills. Furthermore, the identified challenges would provide policymakers with insights into the resources required by teachers to effectively teach writing skills.

Writing is one of the language skills that senior high school students in Indonesia seek to develop. One of the genres that students are required to learn is analytical exposition writing. However, present studies have found that students still frequently struggle to write this kind of text. The present study investigates the use of needs analysis to determine the needs of students in writing analytical exposition. The study was conducted with quantitative research which employed survey methodology. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The participants were 35 male and female eleventh grade students in one public school located in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. The results showed that in terms of present situation analysis, students perceived studying writing as being very important. Moreover, the results from target situation analysis showed that students have the highest needs in using the present tense correctly, collecting evidence in research to gather data, elaborating ideas in pre-drafting, linking the sentences with conjunctions, and brainstorming, taking notes, and outlining ideas in pre-writing. In contrast, students considered publishing, revising and editing, as well as reflecting on the writing lessons, as moderately needed in the process of learning to write analytical exposition text.
