Enhancing academic writing and publication skills for industrial electricity graduates in Algerian vocational institutes

The study aims to investigate the main factors that hinder industrial electricity graduates at the national institutes for vocational training in Algeria from writing and publishing research papers in English. Besides, it seeks to unravel some practical solutions to solve this problem. A survey design was adopted by conducting a semi-structured questionnaire and a structured interview. The descriptive statistics revealed various factors that limit industrial electricity graduates from writing and publishing research work in English, including the educational background, the lack of institutional support, and the lack of motivation. The thematic analysis highlights the need for practical implementation of English in the national institutes’ programs with more emphasis on enhancing academic writing and publication skills. The study recommends future research to tackle the significance of enhancing collaboration among industrial electricity professionals to enhance the writing and publication skills in English among industrial electricity graduates in Algeria.
