This study explores the challenges and potential solutions in teaching English writing to Azerbaijani learners, focusing on linguistic, cultural, and pedagogical factors that impact writing proficiency. Through a mixed-methods approach involving surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, the research identifies key difficulties such as grammatical errors, rhetorical differences, and the influence of educational practices. The study also highlights effective strategies, including process-oriented writing activities and culturally responsive teaching methods, which enhance both writing skills and learner engagement. Despite the valuable insights, limitations such as sample size and the focus on short-term outcomes suggest the need for further research, particularly in exploring long-term impacts and the role of digital tools in writing instruction.
