Abstract
This research work sets out to investigate on the problems Francophone learners face in an attempt to study English as a Foreign Language. Premiere and Terminale were randomly selected in the Far North Region of Cameroon for this study. Data was collected through an essay writing test administered to students. Data was analysed quantitatively and qualitatively within the framework of Error Analysis and Structuralism. The findings revealed that, the learners’ problems range from omission of words, addition of unnecessary elements, mechanics, syntax, code mixing and code switching. The findings further proved that, these abysmal problems are caused by both teachers and students. It is in this regard that this article has suggested solutions which could assist both students and teachers to overcome these challenges.
