Abstract
The research explores EFL students’ problems in writing. Specifically, it seeks to discover are students’ problems in writing narrative essays and factors affecting the students’ problems. Employing qualitative method, it involves analyzing narrative essays written by 20 students of the eight grade students of SMP Negeri 4 Bissappu, Bantaeng, South Sulawesi, and interviewing them through semi-structured interview technique. The findings show that the students have the three problems proposed by Byrne (1993) in writing a narrative essay; psychological, linguistic and cognitive problems because of their low level of English competence and low motivation. This implies that level of English competence and personal interest are two dominant factors affecting students’ problems in writing a narrative essay. Keywords; Problems, Writing, Narrative Essays
