The purpose of this study was to better understand the primary characteristics associated with difficulties in writing practice as perceived by An Giang University (AGU) final-year English majors, with a focus on linguistic features. A questionnaire was used to gather data from 131 English majors in total. The findings demonstrate that the proficiency in the linguistic components of writing in English, such as vocabulary, grammar structures, ideas, organization layout, and consistency, was a hindrance. These results have significant role for assisting students in identifying the causes of challenges and the formulation of potential remedies.
