Investigating Perceived Challenges in English Language Writing. An action research study in a Saudi university preparatory programme

      Аннотация: This study investigates English language writing in a Saudi university context. In this project, it became clear that teachers as well as learners should be involved in any investigation of English language writing. Teaching methodology played a prominent role in the way students perceived the writing process. Through an action research project, this study sought to ascertain students’ and teachers’ perspectives on writing classes in a Saudi university, the methods used in their writing classes, students’ learning preferences, and ultimately how to improve the quality of writing instruction. The conceptual framework of this action research was located within the social constructivist paradigm.
