Writing skill, among the four target language skills, is one of the skills that should be mastered by language learners. In teaching this skill, teachers are required to take any effort to help learners write using the language correctly. However, in the context of teaching English, particularly writing skill, teachers often face challenges. The purpose of this research was, therefore, to identify the challenges experienced by Indonesian English teachers in teaching English writing skills at VHS, a vocational high school, in Gorontalo, Indonesia. The participants of this research were all English teachers working at the school. Data were collected using interview and observation, and analyzed by using a thematic analysis method. The findings show that there were 7 themes representing teachers������ challenges in teaching English writing skill. They were teaching technique-related challenges, lesson delivery-related challenges, teaching resources-related challenges, teaching time-related challenges, linguistics-related challenges, learning motivation-related challenges, and students������ behavior-related challenges. The findings also indicate that challenges faced by the teachers can be positive. It is because the difficulties known as negative challenges can change into the positive challenges when the teachers try to overcome the difficulties that they face. Even though the teachers are able to handle the challenges, they still need to explore more strategies in teaching, in order to the teaching and learning process can run effectively.
