INTRODUCTION
According to Logan (n.d.) any time personal problem could occupy some of the
cognitive capacity and interfere academic pursuits. Occasionally, the best solution to a
problem depends on what causesit, in which case, one has to discover why the problem
arises. But in most cases, the best approach is simply to deal with the problem.
Most of the time research work is found to be a tedious and very tiring work to do;
however, teachers and students can not get away from this work because most often
this is an academic requirment.
Reports from the university of Cincinnati (2001) declares some common reason why
students experienced academic problems. It was said that some students do not have
the clear vision regarding their reason being in college. It could be pointed out that
students are in college since parents insist while not feeling goodon what they are
doing.

Statement of the Problem
1. What are the Profiles of the Grade 11 SHS of Malandag Institute, Inc. as to:
1.1 Age
1.2 Gender
2. What will you do if the student has negative outlook in the subject?
3. What are the difficulties being encountered by the student researcher?
the Grade 11 Students of Malandag Institute S.Y. 2018-2019. The study also consists of
some ideas in order to satisfy the aim of this research. This study may also benefit the
following;
To the School Administration. They will come up with essential ideas that will lead to
understand more about this timely problem. They will identify the causes and effects of
grade 11 students in practical research that will lead them to have more understanding
To the Students. This study may have better understanding the difficult encounters of
To the Future Researcher. The result of the study will provide profound and

Hypothesis:
1. Studying
2. Self-motivation
3. Financial support
The scope of this research will focus on the attitude of students. The
sample of study we’re given to 15 randomly students

CHAPTER 2
Writing skill is difficult skill for most Arab learners who learn english as 12 because
forming a good piece of writing requires not only high proficiency of the second
language linguistic rules but also demands good cognitive skills in organizing and
presenting ideas. In this part we present some studies exist in the literature. Which
explore the challenges the Arabic-speaking student face while writing in ESL. Arabic-
speaking learners usually have difficulty in writing as a producting skills which requires
highly good connective and linguistic abilities. Rass (2015) investigated the challenges
that face palestinian arab student, specialized in teaching english as a foreign language
(EFL) in developing their writing in english as L2. The study exclude that stylistic
features from their L1. Not only learners are influenced by L1 but it is found that learners
write long sentences and they keep repeating the same ideas around the topic and
reprecate phrases without targeting the main idea ( A1- Khatib, 2001),
(Almehmadi,2013). Writing a passes as if requires good command of the language and
the ability of put forth the ideas coherently and logical manner. Many studies conducted
and writing anxiety which we would like to high light the challenges of ESL learners and
how they receive anxiety. It is found that the productive skills, writing and speaking
show high anxiety among learners more than other language skills, (for more details in
this regard see, Aydin, 2008; Tsui, 1996 Aydin, 2008; Atay & Kurt, 2006: Mat Daud, &
Abu Kassim 2005).
Many genuine steps and propose studies have been done towards developing
student”s skills in formulatinf their proposal and research projects in effective way in
their early stage in writing research proposals/projects in Saudi Arabia. Alfakhi (2017)

investigated the impact of a training program in enhancing post graduated students
improving skills of writing research proposals, after designing a training program for
improviing skills of writing research proposal, questionnair was use to given for the
participant. Pre-test tool were use to get clear result for examining student skills. The
result showed improvement and effectiveness of a training program in enhancing the
student”s skills and this was clear from the participant pre-test and post-test. The study
recommended that students showed acquire specific knowledge to prepare research
proposal. The courses designers and supervisors should have practical insight and
clear identification of students skills and attempt to develop student”s research proposal
throught courses content and activities in research methodology. Many interesting
works are available in the literature which show clearly the good steps of writing
reseach proposal/projects and can useful for supervisors and researcher in the early
stage of wiring research, Walsh, & Wigens (2003) Kothari (2004) Tayie, S. (2005),
Barroon,(2008) , Ramsey, S. (2008), Hinkel, (2011) , and Bell (2014).

METHODOLOGY
discussed the research design, locale of the study, respondents and sampling method,
the date gathering process and the statistical tools employed for data analysis. This
study focuses on the students who can easily understand what they read on fiction book
Research Design
This study is all about the students who can easily understand what they read on
fiction than educational book. Therefore, the researcher will focus on knowing the
perspective of other students. The researcher will use survey research design for the
study.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the presentation, analysis and the interpretation of
data gathered for the study.

17-18 9 60%
Total 15 100%
The table above shows the ages of the respondents of this study. Out of 15
respondents, 6 or 40% are 15 - 16 years old, and 9 or 60% are 17-18 years old of the
entire number of the population.
This implies that there are more respondents aging 15 - 18 who were involved in
this study.
