To What Extent Are Non-Native Speakers Qualified to Correct Free Composition? A Case Study.

Takashima, Hideyuki

British Journal of Language Teaching, v25 n1 p43-48 Spr 1987

Two native and one non-native (Japanese) instructors of English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) corrected free compositions written by a Japanese college graduate with a degree in English. Analysis of the corrections revealed marked differences in type and number, with the non-native speaker most frequently indicating difficulty with articles, word choice, and sentence formation. (CB)
