The present study aimed at identifying and analyzing prepositions errors and the reasons behind them in essays written by female Saudi students. The study was conducted at the English Department, College of Arts, Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University in Riyadh. The participants were 39 female students enrolled in the fifth level and ten instructors who have been teaching writing courses for a long time. To collect the data, the students were asked to write essays that were analyzed to identify and classify the errors committed. The possible causes of the errors were determined using the error analysis technique. After that, the ten instructors were engaged in semi-structured interview to deepen understanding and interpretation of the results. The data revealed that the students committed errors in the use of English prepositions. Furthermore, the results showed that the most important sources of errors were due to both interlingual and intralingual errors. Finally, on the basis of these results, a group of recommendations and suggestions were presented to help both students and teachers to overcome such problematic areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
