| Summary: | This book describes the English grammar weaknesses manifested in the written work of young Cameroonians in tertiary education. It identifies the areas where the problems are most acute, seeks the reasons for such low grammar competences, and suggests possible solutions to the problems. The Error Analysis Approach suggested by authors like S.P. Corder and J.C. Richards was used to carry out the study. The book will be of interest to all L2 learners and teachers of English, to language policy makers of L2 English, and to all those who wish to see that Standard British English is preserved to a greater extent in English-speaking places outside Britain, despite the on-going indigenisation of this global language. --Provided by publisher. |
