Causes for the Failure of Students in Developing Writing Skills at the HSC Level in Bangladesh
Masters Dissertation

Sukanto Roy, M.A. in ELT

Abstract

This dissertation presents the actual causes of students’ failure in developing writing skill at the higher secondary level. To perform this research, the researcher selected four institutions to observe classes, interviewed students and teachers and to collect sample writings. In relation to this, the researcher has analyzed HSC question paper and syllabus. The researcher discovered a contradictory picture between the statements of students and teachers and the real scenario in classrooms. Guidelines given in the text-book are hardly followed. Many teachers are still unable to come out of their traditional outlook of teaching-learning process. The researcher observed no writing tasks or activities which match Communicative Language Teaching Approach and it results in students’ poor writing competence. Lack of motivation, inadequate training facility, poor socio-economic set up and large classrooms – all these deteriorate the condition further. Nevertheless, the researcher concludes this dissertation with an optimistic view regarding writing skill, provided that proper initiatives are taken by authorities concerned.
