Abstract:	N/D
Description:	Resumen: This study is focused on the analysis of errors that Ecuadorian public high school students make when writing. The purpose of this research is to identify and to analyze which error has the highest percentage in each analyzed variable, which is the most frequent error in the students´ writing texts, and how the students and teachers perceive these errors in EFL writing. The study was carried out in a town located in the city of Loja, Ecuador, in a high school in Cariamanga in which 56 students and 5 teachers from second year senior high school participated. The methods used in this research were quantitative and qualitative. The results of this study indicated that the most frequent errors in each variable were vocabulary, irrelevant sentences, and lack of punctuation. In this study, it was noticed that teachers do not highlight the importance of the elements of the writing in class; therefore, it is necessary to use some strategies and techniques that help the students to overcome these kinds of errors when writing.
