Abstract
In this study, the researcher investigated the language difficulties of the English language center students at the Arab American University of Jenin(AAUJ). A valid questionnaire was designed and administered to a convenient sample of students, which represented approximately 2.5% of the population of the study from The English language center to collect data which was treated statistically using the SPSS program. The results of the five domains of the questionnaire (academic, instructional, personal, linguistic and socio cultural) showed that the academic and instructional factors have the highest means (3.32, 3.32) respectively, while the personal factors have the lowest mean (2.75). The study also showed no significant differences for gender and type of school on the five domains. The paper concluded with a number of suggestions to reduce the difficulties students face in English.
