Writing is a productive skill highly addressed in the ESP classroom. Students
learning a foreign language have to learn how to create accurate structured
texts with organised ideas to convey relevant meaning. The aim of this study is
to analyse and categorize written mistakes produced by 1st cycle foreign
students from different nationalities (i.e.: Romanian, Moroccan and
Bulgarian) in the English for Engineering module at a Spanish university. The
objective is to examine written language accuracy in formal letter writing such
as enquiring and complaint letters, to detect any intercultural interference as
to mother-tongue influence and other language varieties in the learning of
curricular and linguistic knowledge. We believe that studies such as the one
presented here allow teachers to provide students with written corrective
feedback which may have a positive impact on students’ writing skills (Li,
2000), in this case, foreign students enrolled in an ESP module at a Spanish
university. [-]
