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.
