“Spelling errors in young learners writing”

Mastering writing in a second language requires significant effort and entails demonstrating a certain level of structural accuracy and communicative potential in writing. However, English as a foreign language students face various challenges in achieving this due to the morphosyntax of writing, where students make certain types of spelling errors when writing short paragraphs about their daily lives. Therefore, such a phenomenon can negatively interfere with the learning process. This study aims to analyze spelling errors in the writing of young students. The applied methodology was qualitative-descriptive. The participants were 40 sixth-grade students from the "Isidro Ayora" Basic Education School in the academic period of April-August 2023. The data collection technique used was the checklist, and the data collection instrument was a descriptive A1 Basic text of an 80-word paragraph describing their family. From the data analysis, the researchers found four types of errors that result in ungrammatical sentences. These errors were (1) addition, (2) omission, (3) transposition, (4) substitution, which are the main categories of this study. It was concluded that the main difficulties presented by the students are the unfamiliarity with English language writing, especially writing as it is pronounced, making the spelling error of substitution evident, which is considered the most common in students' daily writing.
