This study aims at analyzing the writing productions of the EFL students at Al al-Bayt University, in the city of Mafraq in the north of Jordan, in the Writing (1) course that is taught during the first semester of the academic year 2019/2020. The researcher analyzed the content of the students? writing assignments through the whole semester, shedding light on the following aspects: Types of sentences, using verbs To Be, using present perfect, using articles and using relative pronouns and relative clauses. The analysis of the EFL students? writings showed that some of students use the Arabic word order to produce English sentences by starting with the verb instead of beginning with the subject which is a noun or a noun phrase. In addition, verbs To Be were often dropped in the English sentences. Also, there was difficulty in producing sentences in which the perfect aspect is used since it is not found in Arabic. Moreover, students made mistakes in using articles, whether definite or indefinite. Finally, some students committed mistakes in using the relative clauses and the use of the relative pronouns. The researcher presented some pedagogical recommendations at the end of the study.
