The samples are taking their EOP (English for Occupational Purposes) (BEL 312) subjects. Their proposals which are part of their course assessment serve as the instruments for the study. The proposals are collected and analyzed. Five types of errors analyzed are the SVA of person, the SVA of number, the agreement with coordinated subject, the agreement with indefinite expressions of amount, and the notional agreement and proximity. The results reveal that these students who have spent almost 12 years learning English still possess problems in their use of SVA. Remedial actions/courses should be taken to emphasize the major areas of errors the students faced with.展开更多
