Abstract: Writing is a language skill which is used for communication. The purpose of this study is to identify the most common factors that influence students’ business writing and to provide them effective strategies to improve their business writing skills. Queens College students were the focus of this study. For this study, qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed. A total of 106 students from Queen's College took part in the study. A questionnaire was employed for data collection. The researchers analyzed the survey data using descriptive statistics. The results of this research showed that learners had a lot of difficulties with their business writing. Business writing can be challenging for most students for various of reasons, including traditional teaching approaches, insufficient practice, a lack of motivation, and a lack of sufficient vocabulary. The study suggests that students' business writing skills could be enhanced by having frequent practice, using effective teaching methods, having manageable class sizes, providing frequent feedback on errors, and through encouraging students to shift their perspective on the importance of writing.
