Title: An Analysis of Speech Errors of English for Occupational Purposes (EOP) Learners at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)
Abstract: Abstract: This study examined errors made in grammar in the speech transcripts of 15 EOP learners. The errors
were divided into 9 sub-categories: wrong use of nouns, countable use of uncountable nouns, nouns used as
verbs, wrong use of prepositions in phrases, wrong addition of prepositions, wrong use of verbs, wrong use
of phrasal verbs, wrong use of adjectives ending in –ed and –ing and redundant expressions. An analysis of
the speech errors indicates that preposition was the most frequent type of grammatical error made by the
learners. In addition, intralingual transfer was found to be the most prominent source of error.
