Produktbeschreibung
English has long been an important foreign language
in Hong Kong. For decades English has been
considered a means by which higher levels of
learning can be acquired and has been made a
compulsory subject in the secondary and tertiary
levels of education. English teachers in Hong Kong
are aware of the students English learning
situation. One particular concern is the fact that
students exhibit undesirable consistency in
committing the same types of errors from one essay
to another markedly. The main idea of the present
study is primarily based on Error Analysis to
investigate the types and frequency of writing
errors made by two groups of students with distinct
levels and its relationship with their first
language. This is essential to foreign language
learning because a genuine understanding of the
nature and causes of errors will minimize the
effects of interference. It is also hoped that,
albeit the small size of this study, the results can
provide appropriate explanations to unfold Chinese
students'' difficulties in English syntax.
