What kinds of error are typical to students in UMLs ESL courses?
While these vary tremendously in frequency and degree, some of the most common factors tend to be: errors in verb conjugation and use of verb tenses errors in the use of articles errors in the use of the correct part of speech (e.g. noun forms adjective forms) errors in agreement errors in the use of prepositions difficulty with idiomatic expressions lack of fluency, often linked to vocabulary As an aside, it would be negligent to overlook the fact that some of our ESL students are above-average writers by any account!
