The article also identifies several effects of failure in the English subject in national grade 12 examinations on Cambodian students.

Abstract

English essay writing is a key productive skill that plays a critical role in students’ academic achievement, in both national and international examinations. In Cambodia, many students, especially high school students, struggle with the English subject, often resulting in poor performance or failure in national exams. This article aims to discuss the key challenges Cambodian students face in writing English essays and proposes strategies to enhance their performance in essay writing. Based on a review of secondary sources, the article identifies several major challenges, including students’ poor English backgrounds from the lower levels, their lack of understanding of essay organizational structures, their limited English vocabulary, their difficulties with English grammar, and their negative attitudes toward essay writing. The article offers some suggestions to improve students’ performance in English essay writing, focusing on the role of key stakeholder collaboration in supporting students to perform well in essay writing. The article concludes with implications and suggestions for future research to advance our understanding of the ongoing challenges facing Cambodian students and suggestions to improve the situation.
