It was explored from the teachers? interviews that they faced a number of common challenges while teaching writing at the SSC level including students? tendency of memorizing rather productive writing, large class size and short class duration, insufficient teachers? training and improper curriculum. It was unfolded from the students? questionnaire that most of them did not get sufficient vocabulary and idea for creative writing. They claimed that they often did spelling and grammatical mistake while writing.
