Abstract

This paper focuses on Moroccan high school students' challenges regarding writing skills. Its purpose is to determine what problems students have with their writing skills, why they have them, and how to fix them. To achieve the study's goal, a total of 72 high school students and two English teachers took part in this study. The students were first- and second-year baccalaureate students of Ibn Sina high school for the 2019 term. They had at least three years of school-based exposure to the English language. This study used students' writing assessments for students. According to the findings, Moroccan high school students struggle with writing due to a lack of grasp of grammar, syntax, vocabulary, punctuation, cohesion, and spelling as well as the effect of the French language.
