Abstract

Writing a research report is something that must be done for every student in the university. That is why the students must have competence in academic writing. For both English and Non-English students, academic writing for research report is one of the most difficult assignments undertaken by the students at university. This study focused on the students’ context on academic writing in the class to write a research report. The method used in this study was a survey research in a small class of English and Non-English classrooms. The survey was asking some questions in the written form. The findings showed that they face linguistic problems with unfamiliar styles in English version. Besides linguistics problem, they also do not understand how to create research report as a process of academic writing that is consists of an introduction, review of related literature, methodology, findings and discussion, and conclusion. Pedagogically, teaching academic writing effectively in any university classroom needs a lot of practice.
