A STUDY OF ERRORS IN UNDERGRADUATE ENGLISH WRITING AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine errors committed in writing by first year undergraduates of Chittagong University of Engi neering and Technology, Bangladesh. To achieve the objectives, sixty (male and female) undergraduates from two departments were observed. Written compositions were used as research data. All the identified errors were classified into five main categories. Frequency and percentage were used for data analysis. The study has found grammar as the greatest category where undergraduates commit errors in writing. The study is hoped to shed light on ways in which students internalize the rules of target language and the findings are expected to aid in designing curricula for better fulfillment of the objectives of teaching and learning of English as a foreign language as well as assisting in developing effective teaching methodology.
