Error Analysis Writing and Teaching Academic Writing

write a final draft. • Publishing. Students publish their written pieces: sending their work to publishers; reading their finished story aloud, making books. This is a time to celebrate This process of writing will introduce students to some principles and techniques of the writing process. Process writing is an approach to teaching writing, which tries to simulate the process that many writers go through in their native language. In this way it does not only focus on the final product but also on the stages along the way, such as gathering ideas, noting them down, reorganizing and rephrasing the ideas and preparing a final, accurate version. In other words, process writing marks a shift from exclusive emphasis on the products of writing to an emphasis on the process of writing and on interactive learning between lecturer and students, and among students themselves.

b. Error Analysis

There are several ways to think about error in writing that relate to what we know about second language acquisition and what we know about how texts, context and the writing process interact with one another. As mentioned, students writing in a second language generally produce texts that contain varying degrees of grammatical and rhetorical errors. These kinds of errors are especially common among L2 writers who have many ideas, but not enough language to express what they want to say in a comprehensible way. This study was done to identify and classify errors of Dentistry students writing, the purpose of the study was to find the most common errors and the frequency of errors the respondents made, Error analysis EA would allow teachers to figure out what areas should be focused on and what kind of attention is needed in an L2 classroom. If this is done, the language teachers will be better able to develop curriculum and select materials that successfully facilitate L2 learning processes Brown 1994 and Littlewood 1995 have found that L2 learners at a beginning level produce a large number of interlingual errors.

B. Theoretical Framework

There are seven steps necessary to conduct in the theoretical framework. They are conducting the research by carrying out a needs analysis, writing a syllabus, developing evaluating tools, revising instructional materials and finally writing the final draft of the instructional materials. The procedure will be shown in figure 2.5 Step 1: Conducting Research Research needs to be undertaken to answer the problem identified in the problem formulation. In the previous chapter, the theoretical foundation for such has been discussed as evaluation on the syllabuses, study skills and published materials on writing skills limiting the writing tasks. Step 2: Carrying Out a Needs Analysis This step is important in order to identify the learner’s needs and characteristics. The analysis will be divided into two parts.
