Syntactic Errors Made by Students of Department of Educational and Psychological Sciences

Abstract

Teaching and learning a foreign language is not an easy task, especially when it shows considerable dissimilarities to the native language learner. The result is that even at college level, the time is spent on remedial work rather than spending it on widening the scope of the learners knowledge of English. (Mohammed, 1980:42)Grammar is designed to help the students to improve the conciseness, clarity and correctness of their writing. (Willis, 1975xix) so the teacher should explain any error or weakness in the students` writings.
