teaching writing. Challenges in teaching writing are
complex. It is not only related with the learners'
factors but also external ones. In the internal
factors, the challenges are related with native
language, linguistic competence, and motivation.
Those problems are related with condition of the
learners. The external challenges are teaching
writing at large class and the availability of aids and
time. Based on the challenges above, it suggests the
teacher: In the first place, the teachers need to
match the tasks that they ask the learners to perform
with their language level. This means ensuring that
they have the minimum language they would need
to perform such a task. Secondly, the teachers need
to ensure that there is a purpose to the task and that
learners are aware of this. The last but not least, the
teachers should remember that learners need to be
helped or guided during the process of learning to
write.

Permasalahan penelitian
This study investigates the challenges faced by EFL teachers, both in rural and urban settings, in teaching writing
to Indonesian learners. The primary focus is on internal factors such as English competence, including grammar
and vocabulary, as well as native language interference. Additionally, external factors like class conditions, the
availability of teaching aids, and time constraints are explored. The research aims to address the following
questions: How do English competence and native language interference contribute to challenges in teaching
writing? What impact do external factors like class conditions and limited teaching aids have on the teaching
process? Lastly, what strategies can be employed to overcome these challenges and enhance the effectiveness of
EFL writing instruction?
Research gap
The research highlights several challenges faced by EFL teachers when teaching writing, with factors categorized
as internal (English competence, native language interference, motivation, and reading habit) and external (class
condition, aids availability, and time). The gap in research lies in the need for a deeper exploration of specific
strategies or interventions that can effectively address these challenges. Additionally, understanding how these
challenges vary across different educational levels or regions could provide valuable insights for tailored teaching
approaches.

in both rural and urban areas. The factors
contributing to these challenges are
categorized into internal (native language
interference, English competence,
motivation, and reading habit) and external
(class condition, aids availability, and time).
The research aims to understand the impact
of learners' English competence, particularly
in grammar, vocabulary, and paragraph
organization, as well as the influence of
native language interference, with a focus on
morphology, semantics, and syntax.
Additionally, the study investigates the role
of motivation and reading habits in learners'
writing abilities. External factors such as
class condition, availability of teaching aids,
and time constraints are also examined. The
research seeks to identify solutions for
teachers, emphasizing task alignment with
learners' language levels, establishing a
purpose for tasks, and providing guidance
throughout the writing learning process.
