Academic Writing Challenges Of 1st Year Master Students At Dr. Tahar Moulay University Of Saida, And Suggested Remedies.

Résumé: Teachers of English at Dr.Tahar Moulay University of saida face challenges to teach the writing skill and especially academic writing to First year Master students of English as a foreign language. The present paper aims at investigating the academic writing problems that students encounter with the purpose to find practical solutions to this issue. In order to collect data, we distribute a questionnaire to 25 students selected randomly. The results obtained show that students' poor command of the basics of the English language is the reason for their low achievements in academic writing. Another reason is that students do not force themselves to learn writing for official purposes and that they do not feel it as a challenge. The study concludes by suggesting some solutions to this issue.
