ABSTRACT: This article explores the major challenges in teaching writing skills to EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. Writing is considered one of the most complex language skills, as it requires the integration of grammar, vocabulary, organization, and critical thinking. Many EFL learners face difficulties due to limited language exposure, insufficient vocabulary, and lack of regular practice. In addition, psychological factors such as fear of making mistakes and low confidence further hinder their writing development. The study also highlights the impact of traditional teaching methods, which often emphasize theoretical knowledge over practical application. Based on these challenges, the article suggests that effective teaching strategies, including interactive activities, continuous feedback, and supportive learning environments, are essential for improving students’ writing skills. The findings emphasize the importance of a learner-centered approach in overcoming writing difficulties and enhancing overall language proficiency.

KEYWORDS: EFL learners, writing skills, language learning, teaching challenges, vocabulary, grammar, feedback, teaching methods, student motivation, writing development.

INTRODUCTION: In today’s globalized world, writing has become an essential skill for learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). It plays a crucial role in academic success, professional communication, and personal expression.

However, teaching writing to EFL learners remains a challenging task for many educators. Writing is not only about using correct grammar and vocabulary, but also about organizing ideas logically and expressing them clearly. As Stephen Krashen emphasizes, language acquisition depends largely on meaningful exposure, which many EFL learners lack in non-English speaking environments.

One of the main difficulties is that learners often have limited opportunities to practice writing outside the classroom. This results in low confidence and slow development of writing skills. Moreover, students frequently struggle with generating ideas and structuring their texts effectively. According to Jeremy Harmer, regular practice and constructive feedback are key factors in improving writing proficiency. In addition, psychological barriers such as fear of making mistakes can negatively affect students’ motivation and willingness to write. 

Understanding these challenges is essential for developing effective teaching strategies that support learners in overcoming difficulties and improving their writing skills. One of the most significant challenges in teaching writing skills to EFL learners is their limited vocabulary and insufficient understanding of grammar rules. Many students face difficulties when they try to express their thoughts in English because they do not know the exact words or appropriate grammatical structures. As a result, their writing often becomes simple, repetitive, and less meaningful. This problem also affects their confidence, making them hesitate to participate in writing tasks.

In many cases, learners know the idea they want to express in their native language but cannot transfer it effectively into English. This gap between thought and expression creates frustration and slows down their progress. According to Jeremy Harmer, vocabulary enrichment and grammar accuracy are essential components of writing development, and they require continuous practice, exposure, and feedback from teachers[1].

Without a strong linguistic foundation, students cannot develop advanced writing skills such as argumentation, coherence, and creativity. Another major issue in developing writing skills among EFL learners is the lack of regular practice and limited exposure to the English language. In many educational contexts, students only use English during classroom activities, which is not enough to develop fluency in writing.

Writing is a productive skill that improves only through consistent practice, but many learners do not have opportunities to write outside school. This lack of exposure leads to slow progress, weak idea generation, and poor organization of thoughts.

Students often struggle to start writing because they are not familiar with academic structures or common writing patterns in English. As Stephen Krashen explains, language acquisition becomes more effective when learners are exposed to meaningful and understandable input in a low-anxiety environment[2]. Therefore, without sufficient exposure and practice, students cannot fully develop their writing potential. Teachers need to encourage more writing tasks, journals, and interactive activities to improve learners’ skills. 

To overcome the challenges in teaching writing skills to EFL learners, several effective solutions and pedagogical recommendations can be implemented. First of all, teachers should adopt a student-centered approach in the classroom. This approach shifts the focus from teacher dominance to active student participation. When learners are given more opportunities to express their ideas, discuss topics, and engage in writing activities, their confidence and motivation gradually increase. Writing should not be treated as a purely mechanical task, but rather as a meaningful process of communication and self-expression.

Another important solution is the use of regular writing practice. Students should be encouraged to write daily or weekly through journals, essays, short paragraphs, or creative tasks. Continuous practice helps learners improve vocabulary usage, grammar accuracy, and idea organization. In addition, writing tasks should be designed from simple to complex levels so that students can gradually build their skills without feeling overwhelmed.

Providing constructive feedback is also essential. Feedback should not only focus on correcting errors but also guide students on how to improve their writing. Teachers should highlight strengths as well as weaknesses and give clear explanations. According to H. Douglas Brown, effective feedback plays a crucial role in language learning because it helps learners understand their mistakes and develop self-correction skills[3]. Without proper feedback, students may repeat the same errors and lose motivation.

Furthermore, interactive teaching methods such as peer review, group writing, and collaborative tasks should be implemented. These methods allow students to learn from each other, share ideas, and improve their writing through cooperation. As Jeremy Harmer emphasizes, writing is a process that involves planning, drafting, revising, and editing, and students need support at every stage of this process[4].

Another effective recommendation is the integration of technology in writing instruction. Digital tools such as blogs, online writing platforms, and grammar-checking applications can make writing more engaging and accessible. Technology also provides learners with instant feedback and opportunities for real-world communication.

Improving writing skills among EFL learners requires a combination of interactive methods, continuous practice, supportive feedback, and modern teaching tools. When these strategies are applied effectively, students can overcome their difficulties and develop strong, confident writing abilities.  

CONCLUSION: Teaching writing skills to EFL learners is a complex process that involves several linguistic, psychological, and pedagogical challenges. Students often face difficulties such as limited vocabulary, insufficient grammar knowledge, lack of practice, fear of making mistakes, and ineffective teaching methods. These factors negatively affect their ability to express ideas clearly and confidently in written form. As a result, writing is often considered one of the most difficult language skills to master in an EFL context. However, these challenges are not impossible to overcome. With the implementation of modern, student-centered teaching approaches, learners can significantly improve their writing abilities.

Regular practice, meaningful writing tasks, and supportive classroom environments play a crucial role in developing students’ confidence and competence. In addition, constructive feedback helps learners identify their mistakes and gradually improve their performance. As highlighted by Jeremy Harmer, writing should be viewed as a process that includes planning, drafting, revising, and editing, rather than just producing a final product[5]. When teachers guide students through each stage of this process, learners become more independent and effective writers. Therefore, improving writing instruction in EFL contexts requires continuous effort from both teachers and students. By combining effective strategies, motivation, and practice, learners can overcome their difficulties and achieve higher levels of writing proficiency.

Blow On The Dandelions

Blow on the dandelions when they come to seed they 

lift me up into the air.

I’m being lifted along .

Blow away your tears 

Your weeping reaches the stars

Tears bring out the sunshine to smile upon me.

Sing out to the stars their songs to the wind 

to blow away the  tears

and bring out the sun. 

Power In My Hand

I hold power in my hand.

You come from earth,sun, and rain 

Seeds

In my hand is a blade of grass .

When I look at you I see a long stem and at the top seeds.

The wind blows your seeds and new grass grows.

You feed the cows,who in return give us milk,meat and hide.

Just these blades of grass bring life to the land and me. 

Mother Earth

Wings flying high 

I see through the eyes of an eagle.

With sharp contrast of brilliant burning.

Piercing through the night .

Orange ambers flowing through  my eyes.

Hot passion burst into flames.

The Goddess of light dances.

Until the earth cries out for rain.

Hot cauldron being stirred up.

The tempest has started .

With one breath from the sky.

Clouds burst into tears with racing winds.

Mother earth now spoken.

Time Of My Life

How time and timeless dance together .

It has a song from long ago.

My Celtic past beckons me to dance for the noble chieftains .

And all the plants dance in harmony .

I’m at the center of the earth.

My life  starts and ends on earth.

My spirits unite with spirits of past and present .

I feel I go around the earth when  I close my eyes and take flight.

The ancient ruins tell us about man’s story.

Of life, beliefs and how they lived.

My poems will live on and on.

And so I follow my bliss.

Beloved

You are the seasons that I am grateful to live. Your heart is a field of wildflowers; I explore in the spring. And you hand me the first yellow leaves of the forsythia, then when in bloom you brush my cheek with the white light of the Queen Ann’s lace. 

Beloved, when your arms open, they are my shelter from the rain that pummels the shed. In summer, after I sit in the sand, my heated body embraced by your cool ocean turquoise body. I float on my back, flip, and float again on my back. Your heart, a warm spoon to my mouth feeds me figs, mulberries, raspberries stirred in oats at morning when the sun rises. It’s the golden drizzle of honey I savor on my tongue as October winds scatter orange, and plum-colored leaves in the pond. Does your heart remember the silence of winter? I recall the way you turn up my palms to hold generous quiet snowflakes. Thank you beloved for chiming my heart with warmth of your eyes.  

Carrying The Cherry Blossoms 

Rosa steps on the six o’clock train traveling North alongside the river. Her window seat is perfect for her brown eyes that now belong to the ripples riding on the breeze, the occasional willow, and the mauve clouds crawling behind linked mountains. The train pauses at the Delmara Station picking up more passengers heading home after work. Rosa tucks a strand of curly hazelnut hair behind her ear and closes her eyes. Sounds of birds rush in as the doors close. She keeps her eyes shut when the stirring in her belly starts as if butterflies are taking off in a field of wildflowers. Her hands grip the handle of the small black suitcase in her lap, touching both sides of her thighs. In it, her daughter Clara’s favorite white silk dress, painted with pink blossoms on branches. When Clara was six years old, she walked barefoot under the cherry trees leaving her footprints on their roots. Look Mom, I’m helping them grow, she said, each time she circled them. At the picnic for her twenty-first birthday last year, Rosa recalls her glowing neckline in the sun.

The dress sitting at edge of her shoulders, sleeves at length of her mocha elbows. Rosa’s face and lips tremble with the image of Clara’s feet once again tip-toeing over roots. The train departs for her stop at Willow Kill. She reopens her eyes, the sky has an indigo hue, the half-moon has cast a silver shine on the river’s ripples. The train pulls into the station. Rosa’s heartbeat quickens like legs of horses galloping fast, kicking up dust behind them. Doors slide apart. She’s off the train before any other passengers push past her. Stepping onto the platform in the open moist air, an unexpected drizzle begins. Rosa’s face tingles. She walks down the stairs of the station hurrying to find a taxi. She looks up. Clouds shield the moon. A navy-blue Toyota pulls forward in front of her from the line of cars waiting for passengers. The driver leans across to the open window. Need a taxi? he asks. Rosa nods yes. Can I help you with your suitcase? I can put it in the trunk?  Rosa clutches the handle, No thanks, I need it by my side. The silk cherry blossom dress for Clara’s wake flashes in her mind.

Lebanon, Our Final Destination

Writing about Lebanon carries a different resonance — a new voice I didn’t know lived within me.

What can I write about a pain that hurts me?

How can I write about a homeland that beats in my heart?

And where and when can I write, when longing has consumed me?

Here is Beirut awakening once again to the symphony of blood.

Here it prepares to wear the shawl of ashes, like a grieving mother embracing her children with what warmth remains.

We grew up without realizing how much our disappointments had grown.

We grew old with the passing days, and the swings of peace that once played with our forgotten childhood faded away.

Our beloved Beirut, our great Lebanon!

How can your might wipe away the injustice of weary days?

How can the culture of the written word scatter nothingness over the culture of war?

Be certain: Beirut will awaken tomorrow to hymns of love and songs of dreams.

It will be perfumed with the blossoms of hope, adorned in the cloak of peace.

It will return as a city reborn like the phoenix from its ashes.

To you, Beirut, I say—

For you, Lebanon, we chant:

We will keep writing you as love,

And recite you as a daily prayer in our hearts.

And even if the roads grow narrow before us,

You will remain, Lebanon, our eternal path.

You will remain our final destination.

SPECIAL INTERVIEW: A CONVERSATION WITH ANKICA ANCHIA

Croatian writer and poet Ankica Anchia is a master of words. She is not only a writer for adults but also considered a children’s author. The poems she has written reach the hearts of people. Through her poetry, Ankica Anchia can sometimes make readers laugh, sometimes bring them to tears, and at times leave them deep in thought.

Q1: To begin with, tell us a few things about yourself, introduce yourself briefly to those who don’t know you?

A1: I was born in the beautiful Dalmatian city of Split, where the sun and the sea intertwine with stories of times long gone. My childhood was filled with the smiles of my parents, the warmth of home, and a sense of safety. But everything changed when I was twenty.

In that youth, suddenly without my parents, I felt a deep emptiness, as if the world around me had collapsed. I fell often, faced with pain that seemed endless. Betrayals came like storms—my heart shattered, trust wounded. Yet through those painful moments of breaking, I learned how to rise again.

The betrayals left scars, but they shaped me. I realized that those who make promises are often the ones who hurt the fastest. Pain became a teacher, a reminder that true value lies in those who stay, who do not turn their backs when things are hardest.

But the falls were not the end of my journey. They were simply the path toward awakening, toward the lessons one cannot learn without struggle. In my verses and stories, memories of those ups and downs came alive—moments of pain, sorrow, and emptiness, but also the strength that grew from every fall.

With each rise, I felt the blessings of my own resilience. The path was not without battles, sleepless nights, and tears. But in every fall and every betrayal, I discovered my own beauty—the kind not measured by success, but by the endurance of the spirit. My words are a testament to everything I have been through, everything I have become:

Life writes the words, but you choose the music!

Croatian Dalmatian city 

Q2: When did you start writing, and why? What does writing mean to you?

A2: I began writing poetry and prose as I was growing up, but the true intensity of my poetic expression reached its peak over the last 20 years.

Drunk on the love for Dalmatia, my homeland, and driven by deep respect for tradition, I tried to preserve that richness from fading away. My poems are filled with Dalmatian expression, images of the land, the scent of the sea, and the soul of the people. My love poetry leads us through romantic imaginings wrapped in everyday moments of life. The verses are filled with emotion—from joy to sorrow, from happiness to pain.

Writing never felt like a decision—it was a natural continuation of something I carried within me. Writing has always been my way of expressing what cannot easily be said, a way to touch the emotions and images hidden in silence.

Why do I write? Because each sentence brings me closer to who I truly am. Writing is my bridge to the world and to myself, my way of capturing fleeting moments and turning them into something eternal. In every letter, I find refuge, passion, and boundless freedom.

—

Q3:Did you dream of seeing your work on the shelves of bookstores, libraries, or readers?

A3: Of course I did—not out of vanity, but from the desire that my thoughts, feelings, and words find a home in the hearts of others. I dreamed that the pages I write would become a bridge between me and unfamiliar faces, that my stories and verses would serve as refuge, inspiration, or comfort.

To imagine my work resting on bookstore shelves, in readers’ hands, or in quiet library corners that safeguard stories—that feels like a quiet longing fulfilled, proof that words are not in vain, that they can reach someone and touch them, even for a moment. That is the beauty of it: sharing a piece of your soul with those who seek something similar within themselves.

—

Q4: How did the idea for your first poetry collection come about? Who or what inspired it?

A4: The idea for my first collection, “Beside jedne Dalmatinke” (“The Verses of a Dalmatian Woman”), was born from my love for the land I come from—for its rocky paths, the scent of the sea, and the timeless beauty Dalmatia carries. Every poem, every word, was my way of preserving the stories told by the waves, the whisper of olive trees, and the old stone walls.

Q5:What was it like preparing your first book for print? Describe the moment when you held it in your hands for the first time.

A5:Preparing my first book for print felt like waiting for the birth of something precious. Every decision—from the cover design to the final full stop—carried both excitement and gentle worry. It was a mixture of joy, pride, and responsibility, because I knew those pages would become a bridge between me and my readers.

And when I held my book for the first time, my heart stopped. It felt like meeting a part of myself for the first time outside my own mind. Touching the covers, feeling the weight of the pages that were once only thoughts—that is indescribable. I thought: This is a part of me that will live on—in the hands, minds, and hearts of others.

It was a moment of pure happiness, wrapped in gratitude.

—

Q6: Which of your collections is your favorite, and why?

A6:Each of my collections carries a part of me and holds a special place in my heart. But if I had to choose, my favorite is always the one that most deeply reflects the moment of life in which it was created.

“Beside jedne Dalmatinke” is dear to me because it carries not only my love for Dalmatia, but also nostalgia for childhood, memories of those who shaped me, and the strength of the emotions I lived back then.

Yet I always feel that my favorite collection is the next one—the one still being written.

“Kleknut htjedoh učitelju” holds a special place because it was created out of deep respect for wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual growth. It honors the teachers in our lives—the visible ones and the invisible ones.

On the other hand, “Zvjezdana prašina” (“Stardust”) is dear because it was written with childlike joy and imagination. Writing for children means letting go of all boundaries and returning to simplicity and wonder.

Both collections tell their own story—one speaks to the deep reflections of adults, the other plays with the stars and opens the door to childhood imagination.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM BASED ON COMPUTER VISION

Tursunoy Akramjon qizi Umirzaqova Andijan State Technical Institute2nd-year student, Information Technology Services (ATT)

Email: umirzaqovatursunoy7@gmail.com

Abstract: The rapid increase in urbanization and the growing number of vehicles are placing significant pressure on urban infrastructure. Consequently, the number of traffic accidents rises, congestion intensifies, and time and economic resources are used inefficiently. This article discusses the development and implementation of an intelligent transportation system (ITS) based on computer vision. The study analyzes methods for real-time traffic flow monitoring, vehicle detection, speed and direction calculation, as well as the automation of traffic management. The results indicate that the developed system effectively manages traffic flow, reduces congestion, and enhances road safety. This work contributes to the optimization of urban transport and the development of the “Smart City” concept.Keywords: intelligent transportation system, computer vision, artificial intelligence, traffic flow, real-time, congestion reduction, smart city.

INTRODUCTION

The sharp increase in population and vehicle numbers in modern cities poses a serious threat to the efficient operation of urban infrastructure. Problems related to traffic intensity, road network density, and population mobility arise in every urban area. Therefore, managing and optimizing the transport system has become a primary focus of urban development today. Monitoring traffic flow, congestion, and preventing accidents requires a systematic approach. Traditional management systems, typically relying on static traffic lights and manual monitoring, fail to respond quickly to real-time changes. Consequently, modern cities are turning to innovative approaches based on artificial intelligence, sensor technologies, and real-time information systems to optimize transport networks [2].

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) implement these innovative approaches. ITS enables real-time monitoring of traffic flow, vehicle detection, speed and direction calculation, and congestion forecasting. These systems are used to improve efficiency in urban transport management, prevent accidents, and reduce fuel consumption. Furthermore, the system provides an essential scientific basis for decision-making in urban transport planning and infrastructure management.

Computer Vision is one of the most critical components of ITS, as it allows for the analysis and management of traffic flow based on visual data.Computer vision algorithms perform tasks such as detecting and classifying vehicles, and calculating their location, speed, and direction. This enables the system to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion.

Specifically, real-time monitoring allows for rapid decision-making in transport management. Research shows that computer vision technology significantly reduces the likelihood of accidents, smoothens traffic flow, and saves time for city residents. These systems are also effective in enhancing security and detecting traffic violations. By identifying emergency situations and sending immediate signals to relevant services, accidents can be mitigated.

Additionally, real-time monitoring serves as a vital scientific foundation for developing urban development strategies [1].

LITERATURE REVIEW AND METHODS

The research process consisted of several key stages.Stage 1: Selection of the Research Object and Urban Area. Busy urban transport areas were identified, and ideal intersections and highways were selected for the experiment. These areas featured high traffic intensity, providing suitable conditions for testing the efficiency of the ITS. Existing statistical data on accidents and vehicle counts were also analyzed.Stage 2: Installation and Configuration of Video Surveillance. High-definition cameras were installed at each intersection. Camera angles were optimized to maximize the field of view under various lighting and weather conditions.Stage 3: Image Pre-processing. Raw video feeds were cleaned of noise and adjusted for lighting variations. Images were normalized for contrast and brightness and filtered to improve the accuracy of detection algorithms [3].

Stage 4: Vehicle Detection and Classification. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) based on deep learning were utilized. Specifically, the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm was chosen for its high speed and accuracy in real-time. The algorithm calculated the density of the flow and predicted potential accidents.Stage 5: Data Transmission to Central Control. Data regarding detected vehicles was transmitted to a central server, which calculated average speeds, congestion levels, and emergency risks.Stage 6: Automated Management Mechanism. The system dynamically adjusted traffic light intervals based on real-time flow. In the event of an accident or blockage, the system automatically alerted emergency services [5].

Stage 7: Testing and Evaluation. The system was tested across daytime, nighttime, and various weather conditions. Results confirmed the system’s stability, achieving an average vehicle detection accuracy of 94%.

DISCUSSION

The results demonstrated that computer vision-based ITS provides high efficiency in managing urban transport. The average detection accuracy of 94% proved sufficient for reliable decision-making. The system significantly reduced congestion and optimized fuel consumption, contributing to environmental sustainability. By dynamically controlling traffic lights, the central control module smoothed traffic flow and reduced the probability of road accidents. The automated mechanism minimizes human error. However, analysis showed that system performance is dependent on camera quality, lighting, and weather conditions. To further enhance the system, it is recommended to integrate infrared sensors and more adaptive algorithms [8].

The practical significance of this study lies in providing a scientific and practical platform for the “Smart City” concept [10].

RESULTS

The research proved that the ITS achieved high efficiency. While some challenges were noted during nighttime operations, the system remained stable overall. Traffic congestion was reduced by an average of 30%, and average vehicle speed increased significantly.Table 1.

It serves as a vital instrument for urban policy-making and infrastructure management [6].

CONCLUSION

The study concludes that computer vision-based intelligent transport systems are reliable and effective for urban management. By automating traffic flow, the system reduces congestion, lowers fuel consumption, and improves road safety. It minimizes the human factor in decision-making and provides an advanced scientific platform for implementing “Smart City” strategies. Future developments involving advanced sensors and AI algorithms will further modernize urban transport, making it more efficient and environmentally sustainable

One mother many children

Each child unique yet all share one root one origin

Humanity and nature are brothers of the same father

All things have spirit honor heaven love humanity

All faiths share one source one heart

They converge as one point to one truth

One world one family universal harmony

Cosmic peace tranquility for all

This is the shared original heart and calling

of all sacred beliefs

Earth is a child of the Cosmic Mother

Humanity is a community with a shared future

Born of one root

why turn against one another

Every nation is a child of Mother Earth

Strife between brothers

only breaks Mother’s heart deeply and completely

Every land on this blue planet

is a precious pearl in Mother Earth’s palm

Each carries its own dignity and glory

The agony of a world in ruin

tears at the very body of Mother Earth

Every living being under heaven

is a descendant of Mother Earth

All deserve reverence and love

All deserve a home in this world to live and grow

The harm of raging smoke and war

pierces Mother Earth to her very core

Grasping and plunder

are not true victory

Triumph through bullying and power

is not true victory

What hegemony chases

is only fleeting pleasure

yet it sows sorrow for ages to come

One’s moment of joy

must never be built on another’s endless pain

Coercion and pressure

cannot win the loyalty of hearts

They only bear bitter fruit

The wisest conquest in all the world

is sincere wholehearted submission

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world

A nation is never a plaything for selfish pride

but a shared home for all humanity

War is never a game

Not the innocent make-believe of children

nor the cold gamble of adults

Mother Earth watches helplessly

as countless precious lives

are trapped in smoke and fear

displaced distressed broken in body and soul

Countless children cry out in despair

countless beings perish in suffering

That pouring rain

is the compassionate tears of Mother Earth

That rolling spring thunder

is the solemn warning of Mother Earth

Mother Earth speaks

——My children

Chasing fleeting pleasure

will bring a heavy price

Do not plant the seeds of hatred

Better to end enmity than to feed it

When will this cycle of vengeance end

Bullying the weak

is not the way of a strong nation

Love and peace

are the spirit of a great nation

To love all the world

is true responsibility

Power is not a weapon to oppress the vulnerable

but the ultimate safeguard of peace and order for all

Be not a sinner condemned by all

but a model admired through all ages

One thought leads to heaven

one thought leads to hell

To be cursed forever

or honored through time

all lies in a single choice

The nobility of life

never comes from power

It comes from the goodness you give to this world

whether you answer the eternal longing

of all humanity for love and peace

No matter your nation

no matter your faith

no matter your skin

you are all

——my beloved children
