6 Common Academic Writing Challenges by dk58(m): 12:05am On Jun 17
LANGUAGE ISSUES
One of the most common academic writing challenges is language issues, which can include grammar, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, and coherence. These issues can make your writing unclear, confusing, or unprofessional; they can also lead to plagiarism or misunderstanding. To avoid these problems, you should proofread and edit your writing carefully with tools such as Grammarly or Hemingway. Additionally, it’s helpful to seek feedback from native speakers, peers, or instructors so you can learn from your mistakes. Furthermore, reading and studying academic texts in your field and using a dictionary, a thesaurus, or a glossary to check the meaning and usage of words are also useful strategies.

Non-native English speakers face writing challenges academically when they do not get the right words and vocabulary issues. The sentences do not flow as naturally, and as grammatically sound as native English speakers, it’s because many of them are not habituated. They also qualify to read and write in English, but proficiency comes with daily life practice. And incorporating English use, and using language aid tools like Grammarly can help you edit your writing while referring to glossary for more word suggestions if you find it confusing.

STRUCTURE PROBLEMS
Structure problems are a common academic writing challenge and refer to the organization and layout of your writing. These issues can make your writing difficult to follow, understand, or evaluate, and can also affect your argument and evidence. To avoid structure problems, it is important to plan and outline your writing beforehand using a clear and suitable format for the genre and purpose. Additionally, you should adhere to the guidelines and expectations of your discipline, institution, and audience, as well as use appropriate conventions and standards. Utilize clear and concise sentences, paragraphs, and sections that are connected and relevant to the main point. Signposting words such as however, therefore, firstly, secondly, etc., can be useful for guiding readers through your writing.
