Abstract

Peer correction of written errors in terms of the use of words, phases, and sentence structure was investigated. 621 pieces of Chinese composition were read and corrected by Form III students of 14 subsidized schools in Hong Kong. It was found that (1) whether the words and phrases could be corrected was associated with their structural features and the frequency of their usage, (2) the ability to correct the erroneous use of words was significantly correlated with the ability to correct the wrong phrases, and (3) the ability to correct errors in Chinese composition was significantly related to the linguistic competence of a person.
