The purpose behind this study is to shed light on students' writing difficulties which are caused by the lack of reading. To collect our data, we have opted for a questionnaire because it is the most appropriate tool that goes well with this topic. It was administered to third year students at english departement of Larbi Ben M'Hidi university, Oum-El-Bouaghi. The main aim behind this questionnaire is to know students' attitudes towards the influence of reading on their poor written productions. It was hypothesized that if the learners read frequently, they will be able to improve their writing. So, the results obtained from those questionnaires proved that the majority of students face a lot of serious writing difficulties which are mainly caused by the lack of reading. Thus, these findings help us to confirm our hypothesis, and to suggest some pedagogical implications to help students enhance their writing level.enActivité de lectureTeaching : english : writing difficultiesOther
