Résumé :	English Tenses are considered as the hardest challenge and the most confusing aspect of a language grammar for English as foreign language (EFL) learners to master. Thus, special practice and efforts should be devoted for them since EFL learners need to grasp fully and completely the concept of tenses, and apply them accurately to promote their level in writing. The present dissertation aims at investigating whether students of English at the Department of Letters and the English language at University “Des Frères Mentouri”, Constantine, are consistent in the use of English tenses when writing academic assignments or not. Hence, it is hypothesized that learners of English do not keep tenses consistent in academic writing. To check the validity of our hypothesis, we have administrated a questionnaire directed to fourteen Written Expression teachers at the Department of Letters and English, University “Des Frères Mentouri”, Constantine, to elicit their opinions about their students’ use of English tenses, to shed light on the importance of tense consistency in academic writing, and to offer them the opportunity to add further solutions that are considered relevant to the objective of the research work, to assist learners overcome their weaknesses and enhance their level in Written Expression. The results obtained have proved that students are not aware of the different rules of using the English tenses accurately; therefore, they shift back and forth between the different tense forms unconsciously. As a consequence, they execute a poor performance in writing, and it becomes harder for them to develop it due to their lack of proficiency and competence in the English grammar. Also, the findings confirmed the importance of keeping tenses consistent in order to achieve a smooth, clear, well-structured and comprehensive piece of writing. Equally important, the results of our study urge the need for serious and intensive work by both students and teachers to raise the academic level of learner
