Abstract
The present study entitled „" Challenges in Teaching Writing at Basic Level"
was carried to explore the challenges of basic level students in free writing activities.
My interest in strategies in teaching writing skills in EFL classroom arose from my
own teaching experience since I experienced the writings produced by my students
were difficult to understand because lack of proper structure, logics and coherence
and cohesion. I used survey research design to accomplish this study. In order to carry
out this study, I collected the data from forty basic level students studying in Roshi
Rural Municipality Kavrepalanchok District, through random sampling procedure. A
set of questionnaire and a test item were used as the main tools for data collection.
The collected data were analyzed and interpreted with the help of tables. The findings
of the study showed the students faced challenges in writing a cohesive paragraph.
They are weak in writing grammatically correct sentences. They lacked confidence,
they failed to generated ideas to drafts and couldn't write the effective sentences.
This thesis has been divided into five chapters. The first chapter deals with
background of the study, statement of the problem, objective of the study, research
questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational
definitions of the key terms. Whereas the second chapter incorporates the review of
related literature, implication of the review of the study and conceptual framework.
On the other hand, the third chapter deals with the methods and procedure of this
study. Similarly, fourth chapter encompasses analysis and interpretation of data.
Finally, fifth chapter deals with findings, summary, conclusion and recommendations
of the study. And, in the final section, references and appendices are included.
