ing, people need to reflect upon different aspects
of their texts. For foreign language (FL) learners, in
particular, writing is a much more demanding skill
to master and thus more attention should be paid
to reflective practice in language classrooms. To
do so, researchers and teachers should first find
out the extent to which FL students write reflec-
tively. The next step, which has received scant
attention so far, should be a thorough investiga-
tion into the inhibitors to reflective writing from
both students’ and teachers’ viewpoints. Having
this in mind, the researchers made an attempt to
delve into the aforementioned issue and found
that, among other factors, low language profi-
ciency and insufficient teacher training are the
most prominent factors in this regard.
