Abstract: This paper examines common writing errors from a sample of research articles written by post-graduate non-native English speakers. The articles were analyzed for their impact on clarity, coherence, and reader comprehension. This paper discusses the errors using examples from other research studies and academic writing guides. Furthermore, it proposes strategies for addressing these issues, including targeted instruction. The study found common errors among students were related to capitalization, referencing and formatting, sentence structure, paragraphing and errors related to research methods. The findings of this study aim to provide writers, educators, and linguists with a deeper understanding of writing errors and offer practical solutions for improving writing proficiency.
