Well 'over-preoccupied' is hardly a word; what is meant is simply 'preoccupied'. This essay topic is the popular modern one of Accuracy vs Fluency . Many teachers try too hard to correct student efforts, to make their English more 'correct', but this often inhibits the students' motivation to communicate, to acquire the language.

Hi Shadnan
There are any number of debates about how a creative writing or an essay should be checked/corrected by teachers. Should each and every mistake by the student be pointed out in red (pen) or should some of them (depending on the teacher’s discretion) be ignored so as not to discourage the student.
