Abstract: The present study investigates the writing skills of postgraduate students specifically to find their ability to write multisyllabic words in English. This research purposes to identify common challenges, techniques and strategies adopted by students, and the factors that influence their proficiency in writing multisyllabic words in English language. This study involves both qualitative and quantitative methods to find out students’ spelling errors, syllable division, and overall writing abilities related to multisyllabic words. Results from the study highlight common errors, such as misapplication of syllable division rules, the influence of spoken forms in writing, and difficulties with syllable divisions. Hence this study provides practical recommendations for improving postgraduate students’ ESL writing skills in relation to multisyllabic words.
