This study of the persistency of errors in English
evolved from the seeming discrepancy between language as
it is taught in our schools and as it is used by school
graduates in everyday life. The study seeks to determine
what errors have been found by other researchers to be
most prevalent and the extent to which these errors
prevail and persist in the language of Saskatchewan school
pupils. It seeks also to make specific recommendations
for the improvement of instruction in English language.
The investigation would not have been possible without
the assistance of the many classroom teachers who administered
the test.
