Abstract
While a wide variety of grammatical mistakes may be observed in the speech of non-native speakers, the types and frequencies of these mistakes are not random. Certain parts of speech, for example, have been shown to be especially problematic for Japanese learners of English [1]. Modelling these errors can potentially enhance the performance of computer-assisted language learning systems. This paper presents an automatic method to estimate an error model from a non-native English corpus, focusing on articles and prepositions. A fine-grained analysis is achieved by conditioning the errors on appropriate words in the context. Index Terms — computer-assisted language learning, secondlanguage acquisition, grammar checking 1.
