Abstract

This analysis is based on errors in wh-question (what, where, when, why, who, which, how, whether, etc.) formation made by Chinese learners of English. The first part is to determine if there is statistically significant evidence to confirm the assumption that the students in two classes were at a higher proficiency level in English than the students in two other classes. The second part is to determine if there are differences between the seven types of errors made when forming wh-questions within and between the two proficiency levels.
