Writing is one of the important skills for English language acquisition.
This study aims to investigate the issues of EFL learners’ difficulties in writing skills.
Writing is the most prior skill in developing the English language.
To examine the cause and issues of writing skills, the study was conducted among undergraduate Arab students in the English department at King Khalid University, Science and Arts College for girls, AlMajardha.
A semi-structured interview was conducted with five English department undergraduate students.
All the participants are requested to write an answer to the research questions which are applied to this study investigation.
The answers of the participants in writing skills showed that all of them have problems in writing and lacking in English writing skills, such as grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes and difficulties in punctuation marks.
With clear examination, the study proves that students need to develop knowledge in grammatical skills, vocabulary building and compositional skills.
