| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 教育學系(所) === 101 === The aim of this research was to study the common erroneous sentences in the second grade students in an elementary school, including the comprehension of common erroneous sentences, the sentence difficulty levels, the differences between various variables and common erroneous sentences, and the correlation between common erroneous sentences and their academic achievement. The common erroneous sentences were classified into three types: the usage of phrases, the structure of sentences, and the expression of the meanings. The data collected from 89 second graders in an elementary school were analyzed with a method of content analysis using qualitative analysis, descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, and the Cramer’s V. The findings of this study are summarized as follows：1. The common erroneous sentences in the second-grade students are the structure of sentences, the usage of phrases, and the expression of the meanings. 2. Purposive clauses are more difficult for the second grade students while parallel clauses, the sentence pattern of pronouns and preposition are easier. 3. The factor “GENDER” has been found to cause differences in organizing purposive clauses. Boys are prone to making errors in the structure of sentences than girls. 4. It shows a difference on the factor “LANGUAGE AT HOME” in the purposive clauses. The students using both official language and Min-Nan language at home are prone to making more errors in the usage of phrases than the students only using official language. However, the students using only official language tend to make more errors in the sentence structure. 5. For the second grade students, there is significant correlation shown between their common erroneous sentences and their academic performances in the Chinese and mathematics courses.
Finally, suggestions are available to the educators in accordance with the results of the study.
