Abstract
“The main purpose of this paper is to find out the lexical errors that students of Workshop IV have when they develop the writing skill. This research focuses on pre-intermediate students in the Licenciatura en Enseñanza del Inglés (LEI) belonging to Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP). This study will be carried out in order to identify whether L1 transfer is the main cause of writing errors or not. Also, this paper pretends to provide teachers information about the problems that the students face when they write in the target language. Errors are the wrong forms committed by learners. Nowadays, they are seen as an advantage in order to acquire a new language. According to Touchie (1986) errors are seen as something that shows the process that learners follow to learn a language. They are more recognizable and corrected in speaking skill than other skill. However, errors in writing skill can provide evidence of the second language acquisition or not due to learners application of several strategies during this process.”
