| Summary: | Teaching and learning English is increasingly gaining attention in Vietnam.
To excel in English, both teachers and learners must prioritize grammar, which serves
as a fundamental aspect. English prepositions play a significant role in helping
students form a well-structured sentence, however, learning English prepositions has
always been a challenge for Vietnamese learners. This study aimed at analyzing the
common errors in using English prepositions committed by grade 12 students and to
find out the influence of interlanguage factors on making those errors along with the
suggestions for learning and teaching process at Truong Chinh High School, Chu Se
district, Gia Lai province. This research adapted both quantitative method and
qualitative method. To collect the data of this research, the researcher used a
prepositions test, a guided writing assignment, a questionnaire and an interview to
achieve the research aims. The frequencies of error were calculated in percentage and
categorized into 4 groups including omission errors, substitution errors, addition
errors, misordering errors. The procedure of collecting data was based on Corder’s
method which includes five main steps: collecting data, identification of errors,
description of errors, explanation of errors, and evaluation of errors. The research
findings show that grade 12 students at Truong Chinh high school face challenges
while learning prepositions, omission errors were the most common types of errors
that students committed, specifically, prepositional phrase collocations and
directional prepositions, temporal prepositions, and spatial prepositions are the four
types of prepositions that students often struggle with. The findings of the research
suggest that students' usage of English prepositions in writing is influenced by their
mother tongue. Therefore, to enhance the efficacy of teaching and learning, students
and teachers at Truong Chinh High School should focus on understanding the
distinctions between Vietnamese and English prepositions |
