| description | This study investigates the errors English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students made in their oral
presentations. An understanding of the types of errors made by students in EAP will enable language
educators to assist students in improving their oral proficiency. The errors in oral presentations of 32
students were investigated using [1] surface structure taxonomy, which specifies four main ways by which
students modify the target forms, namely, misformation, misordering, addition and omission. Findings indicate
that misformation accounted for the majority of the total grammatical errors identified followed by omission
and addition. In addition, verb form, word form and article were found to be the three most frequent types of
errors made by the students. |
