Abstract
This paper presents research based on a corpus of 300 Korean first-year university student essays. I analysed this learner corpus for the most common errors. According to my interpretation, this data gives a concrete basis for classroom practice and curriculum design in Korea. In terms of international pedagogy, my data can be used to garner ideas for research as it provides evidence of current proficiency gaps in EFL student knowledge. The results can be used to further ELT curriculum ideals and enhance language teaching and learning.
