Main Article Content
Abstract
This research examined errors and causes of the errors in 116 English paragraph writings of the students majoring in the Logistics Management at the Faculty of Management Sciences, Kasetsart University, Sri-racha Campus. The results of the study indicated six groups of 664 writing errors. Errors of misformation were the most frequent, followed by errors of others, omission, addition, substitution, and misordering. The analysis also revealed that most writing errors were caused by ignorance of rule restrictions, followed by incomplete application of rules, false concepts hypothesized, overgeneralization, and interlanguage respectively.
