THE ROLE OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN ENHANCING SCIENTIFIC WRITING SKILLS AMONG EFL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

This article explores the significance of research methodology in improving scientific writing skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) university students. As scientific research leads to academic success, students should be trained to do research with correct and engaging approaches. The study also examines the main types of research methodology.  However, many EFL students struggle with critical thinking, research organization, and language proficiency. This writing includes the key challenges many EFL students face, such as language barriers, challenges of understanding research concepts, and insufficient knowledge of academic writing conventions. It suggests practical solutions that can be used in real-life situations, like specialized vocabulary and phrase instruction, improving understanding of research concepts, and strengthening academic writing onventions.
