ABSTRACT
When teaching writing skill to 10
th
grade students at Doan Thi Diem Private High School, the
researcher found out that Motivating factors are very important and they have significant
effects on students’ writing performance.
Furthermore, due to the application of communicative language teaching method (CLT), it is
clear that students should be well- motivated and activated in learning a foreign language.
Therefore, in learning writing, it is suggested that activities which have been neglected now
should be taken into consideration since it is believed to make the lesson more motivating.
There is no doubt that writing provides students chances to express themselves correctly and
communicatively. But the standard of writing of Vietnamese students is of low qualification

due to the fact that both teachers and students are not keen on writing practice since almost
English tests focus on grammar and reading comprehension instead of writing skill.
In order to motivate students to write as well as improve their writing skill, this study aims to
investigate the factors that cause students’ demotivation in writing skill. Subjects for the study
are 75 10
th
-grade- students of Doan Thi Diem Private High School. This study consists of
three main part: Part I- Introduction, including the Rationale, Aims of the study, Research
questions, scope of study, methods of the study. Part II- this part contains four chapters,
Theoritical background of the study, Research Methodology, Data Analysis and Major
findings and Suggestions. Finally, the researcher offers the summary of the study, limitations
and suggestions for the further research.
