This study examines Korean EFL university students’ error types in English writing dependingon their language proficiency. To this end, 152 university students’ English essays wereanalyzed. The findings revealed that the participants’ English proficiency played a considerablerole in the frequency of errors. However, there was not a substantial difference in terms of eacherror type among different proficiency groups. Specifically, the advanced group made the leastnumber of errors (13.4 errors on average) followed by the intermediate group (15.4 errors onaverage). The lower group made errors most frequently (17.36 errors on average). The findingsalso revealed that the participants dominantly made morphological errors in nouns followed bysyntactic errors. Lexical errors were third most frequently committed errors. The number of theother major error types (morphological errors in verbs, mechanical errors, and miscellaneouserrors) was far fewer than the three most frequently committed errors. Furthermore, with regardto the each error type, the findings showed that errors of articles/determiners were mostfrequently made by the advanced group. However, both the intermediate and the lower groupsmade errors on sentence structure most frequently. In addition, there was not a substantialdifference among groups in terms of the least frequently made error types.
