The participants were eighteen second-year English language major students. The students were asked to choose a topic out of six different topics to write an essay in the final examination. The results showed that there were ten different types of errors categories identified in students' essays in the final examination such as word choice, spelling, punctuation, prepositions, etc. Moreover, the results revealed that the most common errors categories were wrong word choice (N=104, 18.02%) (Rank 1), followed by poor spelling (N=84, 14.55%) (Rank 2) whereas the least common types of errors categories were poor possessives usage (N=24, 4.15 %) (Rank 10) and wrong pluralism (N=29, 5.02.33%) (Rank9). Finally, identifying errors committed by ANU students were significant because they shed light on the problems that face them as well as helped the instructors in providing feedback to the students to make their writing more successful.Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature to identify the types and frequency of errors committed by Ajloun National University students in written production.

This study sheds light on the dramatic devices and techniques which William Shakespeare used in constructing his play King Lear. It involves analyzing the structure and plot and main themes of the plays. Shakespeare used the Elizabethan fiveact structure, which is derived from the Greek form and remains an often starting point for contemporary plays. The major plot in this play deals with king Lear and the misfortunes that he has to face as a result of the ungratefulness of his two eldest daughters. The central argument focuses on critiquing the notion that Shakespeare's plays are not original in their genesis. Some scholars go even further to suggest that Shakespeare has borrowed so much from Latin and Greek sources, ascribing them to himself, without acknowledgment. However, the present paper aims at challenging such beliefs and showing thereby the originality of Shakespeare's oeuvre of drama. This play is chosen among other plays as it represents most of the tragedies written by Shakespeare. Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature to identifying the dramatic devices and techniques which William Shakespeare used in constructing his play King Lear. It involves analyzing the structure and plot and main themes of the play. Moreover, it shows thereby the originality of Shakespeare's oeuvre of drama.
