Abstract

This paper is to explore second language learners’ errors on the basis of three important schools, namely, Contrastive Analysis, Error Analysis, and Inter-language. It takes errors in English writing, committed by Chinese college students as researching samples. It classifies the errors and further probes into the causes as well as proper treatments when dealing with such errors. It presents that errors should be explained from different perspectives in order to find rational explanations and they are significant for teachers to know the progress of students’ learning proficiency. Therefore, teachers should treat the errors properly so as to improve teaching and learning effectiveness.
