Orthographic Error Analysis: A Bird's-Eye View of Students' Spelling, Capitalization and Punctuation

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to ascertain if there was any association between orthographic error and what is being written on particular topics. Thus, forty-nine (n=49) learners, thirty-nine (n =39 (80%) male) and ten (n = 10(20%) female) from freshman students were involved. Indeed, the sample was drawn by using convenience sampling based on availability. On this account, the study encompassed correlations and descriptive statistics of which observation, text analysis, and diary were entrusted with regarding to data disposal. The findings, as a retrospective report, reveal that there is a positive relationship (r = 0.359, when p ï‚£ 0.05) between orthographic error, i.e., the inundated spelling error and number of words used at a time of classroom-based texts. Upon the findings, the study laid down its set of recommendations.
