The study investigates Master’s students’ main academic writing challenges, including specific cultural and linguistic factors that negatively affect the development of their academic writing skills. The research was carried out in four higher educational institutions in Uzbekistan: Namangan State Institute of Foreign Languages (NamSIFL), Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages (SamSIFL), National University of Uzbekistan (NUUz) and Uzbekistan State World Languages University (UzSWLU). The study employed mixed-method approach and administers a survey to collect both qualitative and quantitative data from 181 MA students representing ten academic groups, enrolled in English-major philological disciplines. The research results indicate that the majority of MA students experience academic writing difficulties primarily due to limited instructional guidance and feedback, as well as insufficient time for writing practice. Additional contributing factors include unfamiliarity with academic writing conventions, language barriers, differences between the mother tongue (Uzbek) and the target language (English), and low levels of academic literacy skills. The study recommends enhanced academic writing instruction through the application of a genre-based approach and the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which can facilitate academic writing instruction and improve students’ writing performance.
