中国工科研究生英文论文的常见错误习惯: 分析200多篇论文中的观察结果及纠错建议

The study examined the prevalent errors in English technical writing among Chinese graduate engineering students, drawing from a sample of more than 200 academic papers. The findings revealed a number of common habits, such as improper word usage, syntactic errors, and misuse of articles and prepositions. One of the most pervasive habits observed was the misapplication of English idiomatic expressions, which often led to confusion and misunderstanding. Additionally, many students exhibited a tendency to use overly complex sentence structures, resulting in convoluted and unclear writing. Furthermore, there was a tendency to neglect proper citation and referencing conventions, leading to issues of academic integrity. Overall, the study suggests that Chinese engineering students could benefit from improved language support and writing instruction to address these common habits and improve the quality of their English technical writing.
