    (University of Oum El Bouaghi, 2023) Sahrane, Sabrine; Bouchene, Siham
    Conducting research is a crucial task for the completion of any degree. For its importance, two parties, a supervisor and a supervisee, are assigned specific roles to attain to in order to accomplish it. While on the task, it is evident that both supervisors and supervisees face a set of difficulties and limitations. Therefore, the present study seeks to shed light on the difficulties English graduate students at Larbi Ben M'hidi University in the academic years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 face as researchers writing their master's dissertations, alongside the challenges teachers confront in their roles as supervisors. To carry out this research, a mixed-methods approach is relied on to collect the necessary data and test the hypothesis that supervisors and students encounter challenges while conducting a research, then offer suggestions for overcoming those challenges. Hence, a quantitative questionnaire is submitted to graduates in order to gain insight into the difficulties they face. In addition, structured interviews are undertaken with teachers who are supposedly experienced in supervising master's dissertations. Accordingly, in the light of outcomes obtained, students deal with a variety of difficulties when it comes to academic writing, supervisor-related issues, and personal issues. They also struggle with the lack of time and resources which affect the process of writing a dissertation. Surprisingly, teachers also experience a variety of obstacles when supervising master students, including issues with language, critical thinking, and the overall relationship with the supervisee. Therefore, Both teachers and graduates propose a number of methods that they believe to be appropriate and effective for resolving these issues and establishing a positive supervisory relationship in order to conclude the research successfully.
