In fact, even for those who speak English as a first language, the ability to write requires long, intensive and specialized instruction. Errors in writing can affect not just the form but communication as well. Thus, through this condition, the researcher was challenged to pose this study to identify some language errors that are common in the composition of the English major students who take up Bachelor of Science in Education English and Bachelor of Arts in English enrolled in the 1 st semester of academic year 2013-2014 of Father Saturnino Urios University, Butuan City. There were a total of 30 respondents who participated in the study and most of them were in their 3 rd and 4 th years in their respective programs. The descriptive method was applied by the researcher. To ensure impartiality on the data presentation, interpretation and analysis, the researcher used statistical tools such as: frequency, and percentage. Further, this paper tries to examine and identify how these language errors affect the communication presented in their writings. More specifically, this paper tries to address the following problems: 1. What language errors are found common in the composition of the respondents? 2. How do these errors affect the meaning of the sentences? What could account for the occurrence of these features? 3. What language intervention program can be proposed to address the needs of the respondents? From the result, it was found out that most of the respondents committed misuse and omission of punctuation marks and pronoun-antecedent agreement which marked the highest percentage of errors the respondents had difficulty to deal with. This was followed by misuse and omission of verb and misspelling being the least committed error. Key terms: error analysis, composition writing, English major students 1.

In fact, even for those who speak English as a first language, the ability to write requires long, intensive and specialized instruction. Writing is often associated with the rarefied circles, such as the literati, belle- lettrists and league of scholars and scholars.
