Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 9 and 12, , course: Master of Arts in Linguistic Science, language: English, abstract: This study has analysed the grammatical errors pupils make when writing English Compositions. This study paper aimed at investigating the grammatical errors committed by grade 9 and 12 pupils in English compositions. The study had the overall goal of identifying the kind of grammatical rules the pupils break. These errors hinder learners from understanding the language and sometimes block or slow down communication. The objectives of the study were: 1. to discover types of grammatical errors that learners make when writing compositions and 2. to discuss rules that were broken for pupils to commit such errors. The research design was a mixed method design which involved both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Its targeted population was twenty-five (25) teachers of English and one hundred (100) grade 9 and 12 pupils from five selected secondary schools. Random sampling technique was used to arrive at Pupils to be included in the sample. Data for this research was collected using semi-structured interviews and written composition scripts. The compositions were marked with the help of other language teachers. Data was analysed and presented thematically using tables, graphs and discussions of findings. Composition scripts from the pupils were analyzed by looking at the types of errors made. The findings of the research revealed that the common grammar errors committed by secondary school pupils in Petauke District are: Verb tense, subject- verb agreement, pronoun, spellings, word order, and use of articles, double negative, preposition, and wrong word. It was also discovered that Pupils break grammar rules to make grammatical errors. The findings of this research may inform educators and language material developers about the grammatical errors pupils make and the rules they break to make such errors. The findings might also serve as guidance to teachers on how to assist learners to become better sentence writers. Ultimately, the project ends with conclusion and recommendations.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This experimental, statistical study investigated the effects that the testing of grammar and writing mechanics would have on the overall quality and reduction of errors in college students' essays for freshman composition. In the experimental group of 42 students, the professor assigned several exercises in grammar and mechanics as a review related to composing skills and then gave two major tests on proofreading essays for grammatical errors. However, the other professor did not give these grammar tests to the 41 students in the control group. The study used "T-tests" for statistical analysis on pretest and posttest essays, which each of the 83 students had written. On overall writing quality, the faculty raters holistically scored the students' essays, using a scale from 1 (failing) to 4 (superior). Since the two raters scored each student's pretest and posttest essay, each essay had a combined score resulting in a scale from 2 (failing) to 8 (superior). The results showed that the 42 students of the experimental group who tested on grammar had a mean pretest essay score of 2 and a mean posttest essay score of 4.53, showing a gain of 2.53. Statistically, these students made very highly significant gains in overall writing quality. The 41 students of the control group not tested on grammar had a mean pretest essay score of 2.66 and a posttest score of 4.49, showing a gain of 1.83. These students also made very highly significant gains in overall writing quality, although the experimental group's posttest essay scores were still significantly higher than the control groups. On traditionally serious grammatical errors, the experimental group had a mean number of 1.5 serious errors on the pretest essay and a mean number of 0.93 error on the posttest, a reduction of 0.57 which was statistically significant. The control group's mean number on the pretest essay was 1.23 serious errors and a mean posttest number of 0.64 error, a reduction of 0.59 which was also significant; however, there was no significant difference between both groups in the reduction of serious errors. For the less serious "minor" errors, the experimental group had a mean number of 7.4 minor errors on the pretest essay and a mean number of 5.12 errors on the posttest essay, a reduction of 2.28 errors which was highly significant. The control group had a mean pretest essay number of 12.5 minor errors and a mean posttest essay number of 7.42 errors, a reduction of 5.08 errors which was very highly significant. Moreover, statistics showed a significant difference between both groups' posttest essays in the reduction of these minor errors, with the control group making more significant reductions in the minor errors than the experimental group. The researchers concluded that the two major grammar tests on proofreading two essays for errors may have had some effect on the experimental group's gains in overall writing quality for correctness. However, these tests appeared to make no difference between both groups, by having very little if any effect on the students in the experimental group to reduce the number of errors significantly in their essays.

Book excerpt: Intended for writing instructors at all levels who lack the training to deal effectively with the increasingly important role played by empirical research in their field, Composition Research explains ten of the most common empirical designs used in the social sciences. These include: casestudy, ethnography, sampling/survey, quantitative descriptive research, prediction and classification studies, true and quasi-experiments, meta-analysis, and program evaluation. Each design is explained with reference to at least two specific composition studies, and includes a separatebibliography that identifies further writing studies that use it.
