Moreover, the researcher has created a conceptual framework by combining the elements sentence structure, word choice, spelling, grammatical error, coherence and cohesion, generating ideas, translate L1 to L2 (Lin & Morrison, 2021), writing anxiety (Aloairdhi, 2019) and lack of English reading and handwriting speed (Skar, Graham & Huebner, 2021). The findings showed that students faced difficulties in terms of English writing after reopening since they did not practice English writing during the pandemic.
