Barre latérale de l'article
Contenu principal de l'article
The present study focuses on the analysis of the texts written by students of an A1 English Course. Errors are classified according to linguistics aspects and analyzed to identify their source. Students were interviewed to inquire about their insights on errors and the writing process. Results showed a mismatch between the actual sources of errors and the students’ attributed cause. The theoretical framework was based on different authors who described the writing process, error and correction and learning strategies. Based on the works of these authors, categories of analysis on error source, and strategies in the process of learning a new language were stated.
