Abstract:
The present dissertation aims at investigating the effect of grammar rules on the process of writing skill among first-year Licence’s students of English as a foreign language at the department of English language at the University of Ghardaia. Actually, those students face several difficulties while writing, and this might be due to their lack of grammar competence. A sample of thirty licence’s students from a general population of tw o hundred seventy were taken part in this research. To carry out this study, the data were collected using the questionnaire tool. The results obtained from the students’ questionnaire revealed that, the majority of students participating in this research lack the mastery of the grammatical rules, and this was reflected in their responses.
