Abstract

This research investigates students’ difficulties in doing paraphrasing and identifying the strategies to mitigate the difficulties they face. This qualitative research obtained data from seven students of English Language Education who took Academic Writing Course and were in the process of completing their thesis. Document analysis and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data which were then analyzed descriptively. The document analysis results show that the students used various techniques in paraphrasing, i.e., using synonyms, changing clause to phrase (vice versa), expanding the word for clarity, shorten phrases for conciseness, changing part of speech, the structure of ideas, word form, word order, shorten the sentences, and expanding phrases for clarity. The interview results show four significant difficulties students encounter in paraphrasing, including lack of English proficiency, poor reading comprehension skills, lack of vocabulary, and referencing ability. In addition, the students’ strategies in overcoming the challenges vary according to the challenges they faced. In conclusion, to familiarize the students with paraphrasing, it should be taught in writing courses for EFL students.
