Abstract
This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the writing proficiency levels and perceived challenges in writing skill among Arabic and English language student teachers. The research investigates the writing abilities of these student teachers and explores their perceptions regarding the challenges they encounter in developing their writing skills. The data was collected through writing assessments and questionnaires, and the findings were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results provide insights into the similarities and differences between Arabic and English language student teachers in terms of their writing proficiency levels and perceived challenges. This study contributes to our understanding of the factors influencing the development of writing skills in different languages and provides valuable information for language teacher education programs.
