“…When conveying a piece of information in written or spoken language, it is hard for L1 and L2 learners to avoid making errors while using a language because they can create incorrect language samples and with the feedback receiving from the interlocutors, they can process the new language rules (Péry- Woodley, 1991;Yang, 2010;Wood, 2017). What teacher should do about errors is to find the sources and take measures.…”

“…The benefits of conducting error analysis are considered as a good alternative to describe and explain errors made by ESL/ EFL learners since the errors could rebind the sources of the errors, which help teachers better treat and overcome errors (Lastres-López & Manalastas, 2017;Wood, 2017;Atmaca, 2016). In this sense, error committing is an observable and common phenomenon occurring among L1 and L2 speakers.…”

“…First, intralingual errors could be classified as overgeneralizations (errors caused by extension of target language rules to inappropriate contexts), simplifications (errors resulting from learners producing simpler linguistic rules than those found in the target language), developmental errors (those ref lecting natural stages of development), communication-based errors (errors resulting from strategies of communication), induced errors (those resulting from transfer of training), errors of avoidance (resulting from failure to use certain target language structures because they are thought to be too difficult), or errors of overproduction (structures being used too frequently). Attempts to apply such categories have been problematic however, due to the difficulty of determining the cause of errors (Richards, 1975;Brown, 2014;Wood, 2017). Secondly, interlingual transfer is a significant source of error for all learners.…”

This study investigated common written errors and the causes that language learners frequently commit. A descriptive qualitative approach was conducted with the participation of 57 eleventh-graders at a high school in Hung Yen province during the second term of the academic year 2021-2022. The respondents were requested to participate in five writing tests in three successive months to generate their morphological, lexical, syntactical, and mechanical written errors basing on Ferris' (2014) model of Error Analysis. The results reveal that the respondents are not good at English writing due to both the negligence of the testing and assessment format, which concentrates on multiple-choice tests and the demotivation and discouragement of learner autonomy in improving writing skills. The finding of this research would help the educational policy-makers adjust English teaching curriculum to give a priority to promote writing skills. Simultaneously, teachers of English should change their pedagogical practices to raise their learners' awareness of the key role of error correction in writing skills. For English language learners, they could recognize the importance of corrective feedbacks from their teachers, peer correction on their written errors that they committed while learning to write effectively in English. Lastly, future studies might confer the findings of this research for the reference to serve as the resourceful enrichment of their research liability.

“…The experience of learning English for many students is a difficult journey that affects their academic performance and progress. Many Arab students learning English would find it challenging to perform satisfactorily in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, and eventually in their majors (Alshammari, 2022;Atmaca, 2016;Kampookaew, 2020;Wood, 2017). In this regard, learning English grammar, in particular, is a demanding and challenging task for a considerable number of students.…”

In many parts of the world, learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or English as a Second Language (ESL) often face language difficulties and challenges in their performance in learning. These challenges and errors have multiple forms and causes, covering various language and skills aspects. This study focuses on the types of grammatical errors made by Foundation Programme students at a university in Oman. The study specifically examined areas that appeared difficult for the students and their actual knowledge of grammar. To serve its objective, the study collected data from the results of two grammar quizzes in ongoing assessments (OA) by 83 undergraduate students enrolled in a Foundation Programme studying English courses. Findings reveal frequent errors performed by students in certain grammatical aspects and language use. Results also show the significance of analyzing students’ performance in OA for a better understanding of their level of language knowledge. The study also drew some pedagogical implications.

“…Moreover, some previous studies discussed the grammatical error was like the research entitled syntactic error in descriptive paragraphs by native Indonesian-speaking students of English (Basri et al, 2013). Correcting grammatical error in university-level foreign language students' written work (Griffits & Sonmez, 2015), and Errors in second/foreign language learning and their interpretations (Wood, 2017). The previous studies talked about errors in writing and speaking.…”
