Aim: The study aims to investigate the difficulties in English language writing and writing strategies usage among undergraduate students in Thailand.Methodology: This research employs the quantitative approach and data were collected from 157 students taking an intermediate English course by using a five-point rating scale questionnaire. The data were computed using the mean score, standard deviation, and a chi-square test.Findings: The results revealed that the students had writing problems at a high level, and they rated grammar as the most problematic. It was also found that cognitive strategies, particularly resourcing strategies, were frequently employed by the participants. However, no relationship was found between the students writing ability and their writing strategy usage.Implications/Novelty: The findings give teachers, course designers, and the educational organisation insight into students problems in learning English language writing. It also highlights the need for introducing the writing strategies to students so that they can use such techniques to overcome any struggles when composing a piece of writing.
