Bob Chudy ******************************************************************************************************************* English as a Second Language Writing Workshop: Most Common Grammar Mistakes - Issues and Strategies This two-hour English as a second language (ESL) workshop will focus on grammar issues in academic writing. First language (L1) Chinese, Korean, and Japanese student writers, among others, tend to make various grammatical errors while developing their English writing skills. Further, most persistent grammar mistakes occur in the domains of agreement, articles, and relative clauses. In this workshop, basic differences between English and other languages in these areas are discussed, each followed by some practical suggestions on how writers could tackle those issues to reduce the enduring errors and improve their English writing skills. Although all ESL students are welcome to attend the workshop, the above errors are typically made by L1 speakers of East Asian languages, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese, among others.
