<![CDATA[This study aims to identify the challenges faced by EFL students in writing academic texts and the factors contributing to these challenges. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design involving students from the English Education Study Program at Unika St. Ruteng. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis.

These findings suggest that both language proficiency and psychological factors play significant roles in students’ academic writing development.]]>
