This study aimed at investigating the difficulties encountered by EFL learners in
writing English paragraph in Colleges of English language at Sudanese
Universities. The researcher used two tools to prove the credibility of the
hypotheses mentioned in chapter one, questionnaire papers for instructors and a
test for learners of level three College of languages, at Sudan University of Science
and technologoy. The researcher also used the descriptive analytical method to
analyze the collected data. The study found that the learners suffer from many
types of difficulties such as: grammatical, structural difficulties, as well as
difficulties in using punctuation marks, definite and indefinite articles and that is
why there is weakness in students’ writing generally. The researcher recommends
that English language teachers should concentrate much more on writing skills as
an important part of English paragraph. The researcher used the package of social
sciences (SPSS) for analysis. The researcher concluded with some relevent
