The objectives of this research were to find out the main problems in thesis writing and supervision of the undergraduate EFL students and their supervisors’ perspectives. This study also aimed to identify the possible solutions from the supervisors to help the students complete their thesis. This study was conducted at one of the state universities in South Sumatra. A descriptive qualitative design was applied in this study which had 70 students writing their theses and six thesis supervisors as the participants. The data were collected by using two questionnaires and an interview. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed by manual calculation to get the percentage result. The interview data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. The findings showed there were problems in thesis writing and supervision as perceived by the students and supervisors. First, based on the students’ perspectives, the problems in their thesis writing were concerned with writing knowledge, linguistics, psychology, and health problems, while for thesis supervision, only few students had problems related to availability of their supervisors, supervisors’ attributes and supervisors’ feedback. Second, based on the supervisors’ perspectives, the problems related to the students’ writing problem were concerned with the students’ knowledge, psychological issues, time availability for thesis supervision, and communication. The thesis supervisors also provided potential solutions for the students, the lecturers (thesis supervisors), and the faculty members.
