Abstract
This article addresses the problem of scientific writing among university students, particularly those specializing in French as a Foreign Language at the University of Oum El Bouaghi (Algeria), focusing on the challenges encountered when preparing the preliminary draft of a master's thesis. The article also underlines the specific difficulties faced by these students, and highlights the crucial need for appropriate support, combining the teaching of theoretical and technical knowledge with in-depth scaffolding, to facilitate this acculturation. Using a survey and a sample of 60 participants, this study gathered data in this regard. The study considered ways of improving the scientific writing of FLE students, focusing on their relationship with scientific writing and the support they receive from their teacher-supervisors. Relevant recommendations were made based on the results of the analysis.
Keywords: Acculturation; French; master's thesis; preliminary draft; scientific writing.
