AB - This study analyzes and compares writing errors produced by Korean language learners across two genres: argumentative essays and data commentary texts. To achieve this, errors were classified into six categories—orthographic, phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and textual—and both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted.
The quantitative analysis revealed statistically significant differences between the two genres in three categories: total errors, morphological errors, and semantic errors. However, when error frequency was normalized per 100 characters to control for text length, a significant difference was found only in the syntactic category between argumentative essays and data commentary texts.
The qualitative analysis further examined and described genre-specific differences by comparing error rates within each error category in detail. Despite certain limitations, this study is meaningful in that it contributes to genre-based error research in Korean language education, an area that has received relatively limited scholarly attention.
