| Description | This study aims to explore preposition-partner errors - the inappropriate use of prepositions - found in the written and spoken discourse of Thai university non-English major students. The authors used the taxonomy of errors proposed by Hemchua and Schmitt (2 0 0 6 ) to analyze three categories of preposition-partner errors (omission e.g. rely , addition e.g. face up and substitution e.g. depend to ). The data of this study was taken from writing compositions, oral presentations, and interviews. The participants of this study were 8 0 students from Rajamangala University of Technology universities and Kasetsart University in Thailand. The analysis revealed that (a) Case I: Omission Errors were the most numerous errors in spoken discourse and Case III: Substitution Errors were the most numerous errors in the written discourse among students from both academic and technical universities; (b) there is a high positive relationship between errors committed in speaking and writing for Case I: Omission Errors and Case II: Addition Errors but no significant relationship for Case III: Substitution Errors from both universities. The results from this research have significant implications in vocabulary teaching and learning, particularly in the Thai context. |
