Authors : Belkhir Fatima Zohra .

Abstract

While research is an indispensable part of university student learning, little attention has been given to why researchers, including Master students’ thesis projects are not progressing favourably. The present study endeavours to find out the challenges students face when conducting thesis projects for the fulfillment of their Master Degree in the Department of English of the University of Tlemcen. Data were collected using group discussions with five students. The results show that there are five problematic areas as regards undergraduate thesis projects challenges. These are student motivation; student-supervisor relationships, skills and knowledge; student’s workload; and resources and ICT tools. Seeing that these areas are multifaceted, further research should focus on the complexity of these issues to give a general picture on why students have experienced those problematic areas while carrying out their research works.
