Analysis on Lexical Errors in Writings of Mongolian English Majors

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to examine types of lexical errors committed by EFL Mongolian learners in their writing. A total of 525 errors in 62 English writings by Mongolian English majors were identified and analyzed. Supplementary information is also collected by means of questionnaire and interviews for more comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting the errors. Possible solutions are thus provided for the Mongolian learners to cope with particular difficulties in their writings in terms of lexical choice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
