Abstract

The present dissertation attempts to provide current information about how data obtained from diagnostic grammar assessments should be examined and used as a support to instructional decisionsmaking to improve the quality of grammar teaching and learning. One of the most useful approaches that have been proposed for educational diagnostic assessment is error analysis. It aims at investigating the most common errors and the real causes behind committing them for the purpose of making effective instructional decisions accordingly. This study is restricted to forming wh-questions as one of the most essential aspects that pupils need to master and because it forms a serious difficulty among most of EFL learners.
