ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to identify and explore the common errors of the BBS students in their English-free writing. This study selected 17 students studying in bachelor's second year at a community campus in Sindhupalchok district, Nepal, as the research participants. The participants were given a free topic and its breakdowns in different sub-headings to express their free and creative ideas so that the prevalent errors could autonomously be discovered in that familiar topic. The study contains the leading research questions: i) What are the most frequent or common errors BBS students make in English-free writing? and ii) How does the lack of familiarity with English sentence patterns affect written communication's overall coherence and clarity? The study is qualitative research, in which the participants were selected following a purposive, non-random sampling procedure. The major findings of this study suggest the multifaceted nature of errors made by BBS second-year students. The students committed grammatical, spelling, concord, semantic, mother tongue-influenced, and negligent errors in their English-free writing. Therefore, to enhance the overall writing proficiency of the BBS second-year students, targeted teacher involvement is needed to address and make students aware of their respective errors in English-free writing.
