Abstract:
The study focuses on the impact of error analysis in the writing courses at tertiary level
among non-English majors. In Bangladesh, the students of the non-English majors learn to write
English through various writing courses. However, their proficiency in writing English is far from
being satisfactory. Even after the completion of different language courses similar to English
Fundamentals, Composition or other academic writing courses, they end up making numerous
errors. In this research, the researcher endeavored to analyze the errors made by different nondepartment majors to discover the roots of errors and also to understand the difficulties students
face while avoiding errors. The research was conducted through sample studies and interview
questions. For the study 100writing samples were collected from tertiary level students from the
renowned private universities in the country. The interview parts in this research reveal the real
perspective of students regarding this issue. This research will help the teachers in figuring out why
and how the errors occurred and in what ways they can be resolved. The researcher used both
qualitative and quantitative data for analysis. The result of the findings has been analyzed and
some suggestions have been given on the basis of the research.
