The tool of the current study was the participants’ written paragraphs. All errors committed by the participants were analyzed and classified into different categories. The results showed that the most frequent error category was omission and addition, and the errors committed by the participants are attributed to intralingual difficulties due to the deformation of language learning as well as limited interlingual errors. In the light of the obtained results, several recommendations and pedagogical implications were suggested in order to help instructors and teachers in general in their efforts in lessening the obstacles regarding writing paragraphs in the English language.(Published Abstract) http://search.shamaa.org/abstract_en.gif ID - 126768 OP - pp. 23-30 T1 - Error analysis of Jordanian first year university students’ English language writing at Arab Open University : case study [Article] UL - 1 http://search.shamaa.org/fulltext.gif https://journal.journals.uob.edu.bh//Article/ArticleFile/5460 Full text (PDF)
