In your opinion, what is the most difficult skill in teaching EFL?

I think, it is writing.
Almost of academic learners and I also, we both think the writing skill is the most difficult skill in English because to write well we must be focused in many components; vocabulary, grammar structure and also what’s inside the story. Moreover, to do such a writing piece we must have creative thinking too. In this case, the professional teacher will find that the problem isn't learners’ knowledge but it is their attitude in writing. So to solve this problem the teacher has to create interesting activities to reduce students’ anxiety in writing.

I think every skill is the most difficult skill in teaching
ESL. Because they are related each other. However,
If we know their what they want. We know their level.
So teacher can design the lesson that very suitable for
them.

I think writing skill is the most difficult.
When we learn English, the last skill that we have learn is writing.
Before you learn writing skill, you have to learn listening, reading and speaking.
If we want to write a good one paper, we must be quite good at vocabulary and grammar.
We should teach EFL about vocabulary and grammar clearly before we assign writing task.

In my opinion, writing is the most difficult skill in teaching ESL because in academic writing, there are many rules that we have to aware. There are a lot of steps that we have to follow. Moreover, writing is a boring skill because it takes long time to practice. For me, there are more than four draft before final draft. It's quite waste lot of time before the complete writing. It's a reason to support that writing skill is the most difficult skill in teaching ESL.

Speaking is the most difficult for EFL learners, from my thought.
Also from my experience, students don't want to speak out because they are afraid of making mistake. That's why we always encourage or be encouraged to take risk when we want to speak.

When I was young, my teacher told me about English skills that there are four skills; listening skill, speaking skill, reading skill and writing skill.
All of these are very important to learn English.
I notice that we always listening skill will be ordered into the first and writing skill will arranged into the last.
The reason that we order writing skill into the last place is writing integrates other skills so it’s difficult skill.
I feel nervous so much when I write the long paragraphs.
Anyway, even though writing is so difficult, it plays in essential role and it’s necessary to use in our daily lives.

In my opinion, I think reading is the most difficult skill for teaching EFL. Not only teaching reading as EFL but also teaching reading as the first language too. Reading is one of English skills that hard to teach. The main factor is the learners can't read the text and cause to can't understand what the text or content talk about.Therefore, I am quite hard to teaching reading skill. As I am going to be English teacher in the future however, I will find the ways to teaching reading skill. Besides, If the learner can read the first language well, they will read in the second language well also. How to develop reading skill is the learners should read in the first language well.

I think all skills are difficult in different ways depending on how well we practice it.
To consider the most difficult, I think it's writing because ESL students like us are afraid if it.
I think it's hard to start writing something. For me, I have learned hard until I can write better than I used to.
For improving writing, I have to listen, and read for gaining more knowledge and learn to write like native speakers.
In writing, I spend much time on it because I have to write as best as I can.
I also open dictionary for finding more new words to write.
Because it's hard to write, I'm very proud when I finish writing.

For my experience writing skill is so difficult.
Everybody could think speaking but I think it can improve if we always listen the native speaker said.
I have a problem in writing. I can read, listen and speak but I can't write in correctly.
It isn't important if I won't to be teacher.
I have to write a sentence in blackboard but I can't.
