Résumé: Abstract This study aims to explore some factors confronting graduate students in academic writing at Abbes Leghrour University of KHENCHELA. It attempts to uncover the difficulties facing students of Master degree at the department of English when writing. The objective of this research is to highlight students’ problems in academic writing by testing the following hypothesis: “If the major factors influencing the academic writing are discovered, EFL Master students (second year) writing will improve”.To confirm the validity of this hypothesis, we used a descriptive method since the nature of the topic demands descriptions. We used a students’ questionnaire answered by twenty five (25) students over eighty seven (87) student of second year master degree to gather the data. The results of analysing the data showed that the majority of students have problems in referencing, they need to bring others’ ideas using paraphrasing in which they face another problem. Citing and referencing are very difficult for them, these problems cause fear of traps on plagiarism. This research work consists of introductory chapter; first chapter deals with literature review and second chapter contains the analysis of the data.
