WRITTTEN ERRORS OF FIRST YEAR NON-ENGLISH MAJOR STUDENTS

English

Due to the influence of English as a global language, the teaching of English in Vietnam has focused on the learner-centered teaching with the teacher as facilitator who supplies with creative contexts for English language learning. Among the four skills integrated in learning English, writing seems to be the most challenging to students. The study aimed at edentifying lexical, suntactical, morphological, and mechanical errors commited by students at Thai Nguyen College. First year non-English major students were randomly selected from three classes during the school year 2022-2023 to be respondents in the study. In the context of second language teaching and learning, errors in written discourse are normally considered as a mark of inadequacy that have to be deliberately investigated to give rise to their correction and remediation through error analysis which in the light of the study could provide a clear and comprehensive picture on the appropriate remediation and instructional interventions to address the weaknesses of the students.
