An analysis of grammatical errors in English descriptions of OTOP products appearing on websites
Abstract:
Grammatical errors are found to be the main problems for different genres of
writing, especially in the English descriptions of One Tambon One products (OTOP)
appearing on websites. This study aimed at examining the types of grammatical errors
found in English descriptions of OTOP products appearing on websites. The stimuli
were consisted of 500 English descriptions of five categories appearing on websites
from 1 July 2018 to 1 February 2019. The surface structure taxonomy for error
analysis proposed by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982) was used for data analysis.
The statistical tests used to analyze the data included frequency, percentage, and
descriptive.
The results revealed that the type of grammatical error with the highest
frequency found in English descriptions of OTOP products was omission with the
percentage of 31.7, followed by the error types of misformation (31.6%), addition
(30.8%), and misordering (5.9%), respectively.
