Abstract EN

This study aimed at examining the effect of the error analysis on ninth grade students' writing skills.

To achieve the aims of the study, a quasiexperimental research design was used in which the participants of the study consisted of 65 ninth-grade female students who were randomly assigned as one control group (n=30) and one experimental group (n=35) who were enrolled at Safia Bint Abd Al-Mutalib secondary school for girls, at Mafraq Directorate of Education, in the first semester of the academic year 2018- 2019.

To collect data, a pre- posttest was prepared.

The researcher taught the experimental group, whereas the course teacher taught the control group.

The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the two groups in favor of the experimental group.

The study recommended using the error analysis in analyzing the students written works.
