The study was carried out to identify the challenges faced by teachers and 10th graders in teaching and learning English writing skills at a high school in Hanoi. Based on the major findings, a couple of suggestions and recommendations are proposed to improve the quality of teaching and learning English writing skills at the high school.The results indicated that the students often had low motivation and aspiration to learn writings, which made them not pay attention to writing. Besides, both teachers and pupils shared the same view that the students often felt at a loss of knowledge background, lexical resources and ideas when writing. Also, the results showed that the instructors' teaching methods, feedback, instruction for writing or time distribution among language skills were problematic factors. More importantly, less practice and limited materials and references for consultation could be seen as main factors blocking students from bettering their writing skills

ABSTRACT
English writing skill can be seen as the most challenging among four
language skills. When teaching and learning writing skills, most teachers and students
are confronted with a wide range of obstacles. The presented study aims at
identifying teachers’ and students’ difficulties in teaching and learning English
writing skills at a high school in Hanoi. Data of the research was gathered by means
of two major research tools a questionnaire for teacher and interviews for both
teachers and students. The collected information revealed that the 10th graders had
low motivation in learning writing, poor writing ideas, lack of frequent practice and
the teachers' teaching methods were seen as the most prevalent problematic factors
having huge impact on and learning writings of the students. Especially, time
distribution and ignorance about writing skills by both teachers and students were
also reported as predominant elements by the respondents. Based on the major
findings, a couple of suggestions and recommendations are proposed to improve the
quality of teaching and learning English writing skills at the high school.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the background of the study and the statement of the
problem, the objectives of the study, the research questions, the scope of the study,
the significance of the study, the method of the study and the structure of the study.
1.1. Rationale of the study
Among four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing),
writing is the one that a language learner expects to master. Hyland (2003) argues
that writing is an activity that must be learned so that students can effectively
communicate their ideas in writing. It is therefore imperative that teachers help
students develop writing skill that allow them to express themselves properly and
effectively in L2 writing. Sokolik (2003) states that writing is a mixture of process
and product. This process provides a collection of ideas or a stage of people who
talk when they make up a piece of writing, while the final product is considered a
piece of writing. Writing also brings learners the chance to find solutions to deliver
their ideas in foreign language (Setiawan et al, 2014).
Foreign language training requires sharing out four fundamental skills:
listening, speaking, reading, and writing, which is a complicated process. When
teaching these skills, teachers frequently circulate a certain teaching sequence:
beginning with listening, speaking, reading, and then writing (Hedge, 2000). Also,
Hedge (2000) reports that learners dedicate 45% of their energies to listening, 30%
to speaking, 16% to reading, and 9% to writing. There is no doubt that writing skill
is put at the end of the chain because it seems to be highly complex and difficult to
master even for native people. As stated by Grabe and Kaplan (1996, p.87),
“probably half of the world’s population does not know how to write adequately
and effectively". It was agreed that "it is easier to learn to speak than to write no
matter if it is a first or second language”(Nunan, 1989, p.12). Tangpermpoon (2008)
assumes that compared to other language skills such as listening , speaking and
reading, writing is the most difficult skill to acquire as it needs writers to have a lot
1
of lexical and syntactic information, as well as organizational concepts in L2 to
produce a successful written text.
However, unlike other skills, writing in English is not practiced outside the
class, so what is learned inside the class is practiced inside and has little opportunity
to be enhanced outside. Moreover, writing is frequently seen as an element of
teaching and learning both grammar and syntax, which consequently underestimates
the nature and significance of writing, and its acts of growth. Therefore, the
enhancement of this skill captures significant attention to learn and teach from the
very beginning stage of language training. Both native and nonnative learners, see
writing as a remarkable difficulty, but it is much more challenging for learners of
English as a second language (Hyland, 2003). These obstacles mainly occur from
incompetence in syntax, coherence, idea expansion, content selection, sentence
subject, rhetorical conventions, mechanics and organization, the absence of
vocabulary, and the improper use of vocabulary.
From my personal experience as a teacher at a high school in Hanoi, where
English writing skill is regarded as one of the most difficult language skills,
students seem bored and unexcited to participate the writing lessons. In those
lectures, they often learn to camouflage their lack of reading and writing skills, so it
is often difficult for teachers to identify their weaknesses until the graders hand in
papers or take exams. In fact, many learners have believed that “English” as well as
“writing” is only about dictation and grammar. For these learners, writing is an
inevitable failure. Even a big number of students are confident that they will not be
able to acquire good writing skills, because they cannot recognize good writing with
correct spelling, grammar, and so on. They seem not alert of the importance of
writing skills during their learning phase. Moreover, their English exams often
mostly requires their grammatical range and lexical resource, but not much writing.
Despite such issues which cause teachers and students a lot of difficulties,
little research has been done on the challenges faced by teachers and students in
teaching and learning English writing skills at a high school in Hanoi, especially the
2
teachers and 10th graders. The reasons above bring the author a choice to do
research with the title "Challenges faced by teachers and 10th grader students in
teaching and learning English writing skills at a high school in Hanoi" with an
expectation to pinpoint difficulties in teaching and learning English writing skills so
as to propose a number of possible suggestions to facilitate and better English
writing skills for the students.
1.2. Objectives of the study
The study was carried out to detect the challenges faced by teachers and 10th
graders in teaching and learning English writing skills at a high school in Hanoi.
Based on the findings, a number of feasible solutions were recommended in order to
enhance the quality of English language writing skills at the high school.
1.3. Research questions
The research was conducted at a high school in Hanoi to find out the answers
for two following questions:
1. What are challenges in teaching English writing skills to 10th graders as
perceived by the teachers at a high school in Hanoi?
2. What are challenges in learning English writing skills as perceived by the
10th graders?
1.4. Scope of the study
The research goes insight the challenges in teaching and learning English
skills of writing as perceived by the teachers and 10th graders at a high school in
Hanoi in the academic year of 2019-2020. The result of the study was used as the
basis for suggestions to eliminate the obstacles and to enhance the writing skills of
10th grade students at the high school.
1.5. Significance of the study
The study was designed in the hope to develop insight into the reality of
teaching and learning English writing skills to point out factors affecting teachers
and 10th graders when teaching and learning writing skills at a high school in Hanoi.
Furthermore, the study was also expected to facilitate the English language writing
3
skills in this high school. As a result, it will encourage both teachers and students to
be more active in writing lessons, and especially facilitate the teachers to draw their
10th graders' attention and promote their motivation and involvement in English
writing lessons. Consequently, the lesson will become more attractive, beneficial
and exciting with the active and enthusiastic participations of both teachers and
their students.
1.6. Methods of the study
Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed to get reliable
results for the study. The data were collected from a survey questionnaire and
interviews to investigate the problematic factors that are considered as hindrances
on the effectiveness of teaching and learning English writing skills at a high school
in Hanoi. Based on those, implications for better quality of teaching and learning
English language, especially teaching and learning English writing skills at 10th
grade at a high school in Hanoi are also proposed.
1.7. Organization of the study
The thesis consists of five main parts:
Chapter 1: Introduction: presents the background of the study and the
statement of the problem, the aims and the objectives of the study, the research
questions, the scope of the study, the significance of the study, the method of the
study and the structure of the study.
Chapter 2: Literature reviews: reviews the writing skills; challenges in
teaching and learning writing skills; strategies for improving students’ writing skills
and an overview about the previous studies.
Chapter 3: Methodology: provides a brief introduction about the setting of
the study and the methodology applied in the study.
Chapter 4: Findings and discussion: demonstrates the findings of the study and
discussions of the findings.
Chapter 5: Conclusion and recommendations: summarizes what have been
addressed in the study; points out the limitations and suggestions for further study.

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter has introduced the theoretical background about writing skills,
challenges faced by teacher and students when teaching and learning writing skills,
strategies for improving students’ writing skills and previous studies. Among these,
the researcher has detailed the first, the second and the third sections with an aim to
clarify and highlight the significances of writings, approaches and techniques for
teaching and learning writing skills.
2.1. Writing skills
2.1.1. Definition
It is said that it is challenging to give out an appropriate definition of writing
because different groups of people with their different needs and purposes for writing
take on different definitions.
According to Tribble (1996), writing is a difficult-to-acquire language skill
which involves certain types of training. The roles of writing are to document things,
complete tasks, develop arguments and bring ideas together. He also reports that
writing “is not a skill that is readily picked up by exposure” but “normally requires
some forms of instruction” (Tribble, 1996, p.11). Ur (1996) endorses Tribble when
saying that most people intuitively develop the spoken language (at least their own
mother tongue), while the written form is in most cases intentionally taught and
master. Harris (1993) assumes that writing is a process that takes place over a
period of time, particularly if we consider the often prolonged period of thought that
precedes the development an initial draft. Byrne (1988) considers writing “the act of
forming” “graphic symbols: that is, letters or combinations of letters”. He also adds
that writing is “a sequence of sentences arranged in a particular order and linked
together in certain ways” (Byrne, 1988, p.1). Wingersky (1999) argues that writing is
a process of making communication with others in which the writer delivers his ideas
and thoughts in written forms to readers. It is a process of thinking in which the writer
discovers, organizes, and communicates his or her thoughts to the reader. As stated
5
by Farbrain and Whinch (1996), moreover, it is about conveying meaning by using
words that have been chosen and put together in written or printed form.
Additionally, Boughey (1997) refers to the criteria of writing in social
communication when he claims that writing is a process that requires writers to
explore, challenge, and make associations for themselves between propositions.
All things considered, writing is a difficult but productive skill which gives
students opportunities to simultaneously expose their language skills and practice
communicative skills. Therefore, it is necessary that writing skill need to be taught
and learned carefully.
2.1.2. The importance of writing
Mc Arthur, et al (2008) indicate that writing provides an importance mean
to personal self-expression because it prioritizes language teaching and learning
that leads to the fact that teachers have raised more importance of writing skill
for the past few years so as to enhance their students' language level. It is evident
that social relationships which exist thanks to the individuals’ creation via
discourse, are not only discourse. Hyland (2003) states that writing is one of the
key approaches which is used to create a coherent social relationship through
interacting with others. As indicated by Alexander (2008), strong writing skills
may improve the students' opportunities for success, because if their writing is not
good, the readers might misunderstand and misinterpret.
In the school environment, Bello (1997, p.83) considers writing a powerful
language ability which plays an important role in fostering language acquisition as
learners experiment with terms, phrases, and large chunks of writing in order to
effectively express their ideas and to strengthen the grammar and vocabulary they
learn in class. He also claims that "one of major failing in the traditional curriculum
could be attributed to lack of attention given to writing, which is an important
avenue for thinking." Bello (1997, p.83-85).
As aforementioned statements, writing is one of the ways to convey thoughts
or ideas to the others. It is also the skill in studying English which requires the
6
students' great effort. Good writing skill can facilitate the students to absorb other
skills in English better and more effectively and through writing, the learners can
enrich lexical resource and consolidate grammatical structures which closely serve
reading and speaking purposes.
2.1.3. Approaches to second language writing instruction
Writing as a product
The product approach to writing focuses on the finished products of the
writing work rather than the process. As stated by Nunan (1989), the product
approach to writing focuses on the end result of the act of composition, that is the
letter, essay story and so on. The writing teacher who uses the product approach
will be concerned to see that the end product is readable, grammatically correct and
obeys discourse conventions relating to main points, supporting details and so on.
Getnet (1994) shares a view that the product approach is an orientation
whose primary focus is the end result of what students produce. Formal accuracy
and correctness in grammar, spelling, use of vocabulary, convention of layout etc.
are given the utmost priority. The product approach of writing is an accuracyoriented approach that focuses on the control of mistakes in order to eliminate them
from written works (Byrne, 1988). Suggestions by Hedge (1988) include a couple
of points which students should bear in their mind in the product approach of
writing as the followings:
a. Getting the grammar right.
b. Having a range of vocabulary.
c. Punctuating meaningfully.
d. Using the conventions of layout correctly.
e. Spelling accuracy.
f. Using a range of sentence structures.
g. Linking ideas and information across sentences to develop a topic.
h. Developing and organizing the content clearly and convincingly.
Writing as a process
7
The process approach to writing focuses on the composing process of writing
instead of on the written final products. Encouraging students to have a sense of
purpose and audience, while writing about a certain topic, is the major task of
teachers who teach in line with the process approach. Hedge (1988) states that good
writers appear to go through certain processes which lead to successful pieces of
written work. She has proposed the following steps that good writers follow in the
process approach of writing.
a. The writers start with an overall plan in their head.
b. They think about what they want to say and who are they writing for.
c. They then draft out sections of the writing and as they work on them, they
constantly reviewing, revising and editing their work.
The genre approach to writing
Genres are ways by which a text can be seen as belonging to specific
domains. Dean (2008) argues that genre relates to spoken and written contexts for
language use in which our perceptions of the kinds of discourse occurring are
influenced by our knowledge of conventions that are in place for that kind of
discourse, that is, genre conventions . The fundamental foundation of genre is that
“we don’t just write, we write something to achieve some purpose: it is a way of
getting something done” (Hyland, 2003, p.18). Martin (1992) defines genre as a
goal focused because they focus on achieving specific purposes. These moves
and stages within a genre are communicated and unique to different cultures.
This is to help readers of that culture to relate and understand the message
communicated in writing.
Reader-oriented approach to writing
Reader-oriented writing is considered as social communication between the
writer and reader. Language, in this case, is viewed as a social process as Meyer et
al. (1991) claims that language occurs in an individual’s life through an ongoing
exchange of meanings with significant others. This description concentrates on the
writer’s immediate setting, and how it has influence on the writer and as a result,
8
writing. The means of communication is purposeful and according to its purpose,
writing is composed in a particular way that it is familiar to the targeted reader. The
reader expects in what s/he will read about and the writer has to meet their
requirements. Besides, the meaning between the writer and reader is negotiated
through a discourse that is familiar to both sides. In this approach, the teachers may
give models of different genres applied in a specific theme to familiarize their
students with how the text follows its rhetorical moves. The main objective of this
approach is to communicate clearly with the reader, and this is ultimately achieved
through the vision that writing is a social act.
Free writing approach
According to Hyland (2003), the focus in the free-writing approach is on the
writer. Writing here is viewed as “a creative act of discovery”, and of “sharing
personal meanings”. This approach is also called “expressivism”. Under the concept
of personal expression, free writing teaching approach allows the student to explore
their own ideas and find their own voices. The free writing approach relies on
quantity rather than quality (Raimes, 1983).This approach stresses mainly on the
student because the topics and ideas originate from the students, when the teacher has
the role to provide guidance and facilitation for the students to find their opinions and
self-expression. Error correction is kept to a minimum. The teachers encourage their
students to write freely on any topic for a short duration because it is expected that the
learners will step by step write more fluently (Raimes, 1983). The teacher’s role is to
comment on the content in the class and not correct them. It is an indirect approach to
teaching as grammatical forms and genres are not taught to the learners.
2.2. Challenges in teaching and learning writing skills
2.2.1. Problems faced by students in learning writing skills
According to Hyland (2002), students face a lot of writing difficulties at
various levels of their learning. Such problems can in general be categorized into
linguistic, psychological, cognitive, and pedagogical groups. They address the
conceptual components of English; since an incorrect structure complicates the
9
text’s context and interpretation, which a reader deciphers by requiring a mental
procedure (Quintero, 2008).
Likewise, Rico (2014) suggests that an incoherent text does not convey
ideas that cause learners to lose faith, even though they have mastered syntactic,
lexical, grammatical control over the composition of text. The loss of confidence
among students is also due to a teaching approach that is not in conformity with the
students’ learning styles and cultural contexts (Ahmad et al., 2013). In addition,
social media, contradictory input, lack of analytical and evaluative approach for
learners and large and unmanageable class sizes can have a negative effect on the
systemic and communicative performance of the students’ texts (Pineteh, 2013).
The social factors affecting second language writing, according to Myles
(2002), include motivation and attitudes. Research focusing on motivation and
attitude indicates that, unlike those with negative attitudes, learners with optimistic
attitudes and encouragement for writing for academic purposes achieve progress
(McGroarty, 1996). Butt and Rasul (2012) state that inadequate time for writing,
inappropriate teaching aids, overcrowded classes, conventional pedagogy and poor
academic backgrounds for students are some of the factors affecting the writing
skills of the students. Similarly, obsolete textbooks that fail to attract an audience
either encourage the value of writing skills or provide opportunities (Heider, 2012)
Kalikokha, C. (2008) assumes that collecting ample and valid information,
paraphrasing of summarizing information, and using an acceptable academic
writing style, is very difficult for most students. This is triggered by delayed essay
writing training, broad classes, L1 transition, and lack of communication between
students and teachers about the positive measures needed to resolve these issues.
It is clear that second language learners face various challenges in learning
writing skills as mentioned above. This study investigated whether the same
challenges face students in learning writing skills at a high school in Hanoi and
suggest intervention measures to mitigate the problem.
2.2.2. Problems faced by teachers in teaching writing skills
10
Teaching writing seems to be the difficult part for teachers. Teaching English
at high school level is naturally much more different from teaching in other levels.
The challenges may somehow make the teachers’ teaching ineffective. The
following can be seen as the hindrances confronted by teachers.
Nowadays, teachers seem to have a hard time in motivating the students to
write. This derives from the fact that the students are not interested in learning
writing (Asep, 2014). Undoubtedly, the young has the perception that they can do
whatever they please as their parents have given them much freedom. When
students feel reluctant in learning, it is a sign of lack of motivation (Abrar, 2016).
Another obstacle in teaching English writing skills at the high school is that
pupils have different levels of English language. In fact, in many high schools,
students with different levels are placed in the same class which can result in
challenges for teachers to make provision for all the students at the same time
(Asep, 2014). Moreover, different levels of writing ability require teachers to apply
different approaches. As a result, the teachers feel challenging to plan their lessons
and prepare appropriate activities for the students.
Another hindrance is from student’s parental indifference. Lack of parents’
support make teachers having a hard time to help the students. Students who feel
lack of warmth and affection from their parents will draw them back from
succeeding in their learning process (Gündoğmuş, 2018). This is due to little
guidance, motivation and support from their parents.
Besides, lack of professional experience is another challenge faced by the
teachers (Gündoğmuş, 2018). Having lack of professional experience might lead to
stress and tension to teach high school students especially among novice teachers.
The multiple roles of teacher are also a challenge. Teachers’ experience depends on
the level of their previous experience and training. It takes time for the novice
teachers to adapt themselves with their students very well. Teachers can only
prepare appropriate activities if they know well about their students’ proficiency
level, and interests. Not only that, longer time is needed for teachers to prepare new
