Challenges in Academic Writing for Undergraduate Students in Bangladesh
Journal Title: European Journal of Teaching and Education - Year 2024, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
This study examines the challenges faced by undergraduate students in academic writing at a government college in Bangladesh, focusing on linguistic barriers, critical thinking, organizational skills, and academic integrity. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through focus group interviews with students, individual teacher interviews, participant observations, and document analysis. Findings reveal key difficulties, including limited vocabulary, grammar issues, weak critical thinking, poor organizational skills, and plagiarism concerns. To address these challenges, the study recommends interventions such as structured vocabulary lessons, grammar instruction, critical thinking exercises, and promoting academic integrity. The research emphasizes the importance of collaboration between educators and students to enhance writing skills and improve academic outcomes. Additionally, it identifies areas for future research, such as the impact of socioeconomic status and language background on writing proficiency, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers.
