An Analysis of the English Mistakes made by ESL students (1978/79) in their Written Assignments

Abstract

Because of the current interest in English and the drop in the standard of English among school children, it might be of interest to examine some of the mistakes made by ESL students — all of whom are teachers of English in the lower secondary forms. It must be pointed out, however, that these mistakes were not made by all the students, but by the average and below-average ones.
