Abstract

Proofreading and error correction in TEM-8 papers is a challenging part for Chinese learners majoring in English. Accordingly, this study explores targeted language forms encompassed in proofreading and error correction of TEM-8 papers from the year 2012 to 2019. The paper then analyzes errors in proofreading and error correction from the perspective of Error Analysis to minimize negative transfer from L1 to English L2 learners. The results show that the proofreading and error correction tests examinees’ comprehensive language ability from lexical, syntactic and textual aspects. The outcome of this study is inspirational to English majors so that they can analyze their own errors in language structures, to progress in proofreading and error correction consciously.
