Marking and language learning difficulties
Hi,
would you please help me do this:
I have a piece of written homework from a lower-intermediate student from Iran.
How can I indicate the errors using an appropriate marking scheme in the margin of the text?
What are the reasons why each of these particular errors might have been made in terms of language learning difficulties?
The text is given below; thank you.
My brother is more old than me. He is now
20 year old. He live in Tehran with our
aunt. He studies to be a electrical
engineer. I like my brother. He is funny
and he have got a bueatiful girlfriend. She
is also a student. She is also wanting to be
an engineer. Last year he has gone to
England to study English for one month.
My father borrowed him a suitcase to carry
his things. My mother gave him some
money to take with him. He buyed much
things when he is there. I was very happy
when he came back. Now I am study in
England and he is in Tehran again.

Hi, Can you begin by underlining the errors? You might also wish to provide the correction, unless you want to do that in discussion with the student. In most cases, the reason for the error will be either that the student does not understand what he has been taught (eg comparative adjectives), or that he is stumbling over something that he has not yet been taught (eg Present Perfect tense).
