Abstract

The focus of this research is English writing skill, particularly, short story writing. This research was mainly intended to investigate and explore the experiences of a specific set of students regarding the difficulties they encountered during their process of creating an English short story, along with its plausible causes and the ways the students employed to overcome them. This qualitative research which utilized narrative-inquiry design employed questionnaire and interview as its data collection instruments. The questionnaire was administered to 24 students—which were selected using total sampling technique, and subsequently, 3 out of those 24 students were purposively chosen to be interviewed. The questionnaire data was analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics, whereas the interview data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that, firstly, the types of writing difficulties the students encountered comprised (1) difficulty in writing in English directly, (2) difficulties in doing translation, (3) grammar-related difficulties, and, (4) curriculum/syllabus-related difficulties. Secondly, the causes of the difficulties can be classified into: (1) internal factors, and, (2) external factors. Thirdly, to overcome the writing difficulties, students involved: (1) autonomous problem-solving, and (2) external influences. The researcher recommends English teachers and education policymakers to adjust the implementation of writing project and English teaching in general based on actual students’ needs. Additionally, further research about this topic with the objectives of either creating a method to prevent the writing difficulties from occurring or improving the implementation of a writing project is encouraged and will very likely be of use in the future.
