Difficulties Faced by EFL Students in Writing Composition at the Iraqi Preparatory Schools
Abstract
The majority of EFL students face difficulties in writing
composition which reflect negatively on their exam results .
The researcher has noticed this problem and decided to
trace the difficulties they face in order to put an end to them or
at least to minimize them ; therefore , a questionnaire was
designed and exposed to a jury of (12) specialists in EFLT .
Then , the final version was distributed randomly to a sample
from the fifth grade from four secondary schools in Baquba :
(142) students from the scientific branch and (117) students
from the literary branch . The data obtained were processed
statistically .
Then , the conclusions have been made on the basis of the
findings , and the recommendations have been drawn .
The research is of great use for EFL teachers especially for
those who are novice .
