this research work aims to investigate the factors that cause students" low achievements in writing.

the findings revealed that many factors causing students" low achievements in writing include mainly linguistic, personal, psychological factors besides others related to teachers.
the portfolio is among the suggested strategies that proved to be successful.
it enables students to continually improve previously written paragraphs, or papers guided by the teachers‟ feedback; subsequently, developing their reflection and autonomy.
