English writing skill is always considered as the most challenging among four language skills. When teaching and learning writing skills, most teachers and students confront with a wide range of obstacles. The study was carried out to identify the challenges faced by teachers and 10th graders in teaching and learning English writing skills at a high school in Hanoi. Based on the major findings, a couple of suggestions and recommendations are proposed to improve the quality of teaching and learning English writing skills at the high school.The results indicated that the students often had low motivation and aspiration to learn writings, which made them not pay attention to writing. Besides, both teachers and pupils shared the same view that the students often felt at a loss of knowledge background, lexical resources and ideas when writing. Also, the results showed that the instructors' teaching methods, feedback, instruction for writing or time distribution among language skills were problematic factors. More importantly, less practice and limited materials and references for consultation could be seen as main factors blocking students from bettering their writing skills
