Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Spelling is a real problem for learners of English as a foreign language and Moroccan learners are no exception. The present study analyses and categorizes the spelling errors made by Moroccan university students of English. The errors were taken from 100 essays of composition for two academic levels (first and third year students). The main objective of the study is to investigate the patterns of spelling errors made by the subjects. Another objective is to investigate the extent to which academic level affects the patterns of spelling errors. The study aims also to attribute the errors to possible sources. The findings indicate that spelling errors fall mainly into four categories; omission, addition, substitution and ordering. Another finding is that academic level has no effect on error patterns. Findings equally show that spelling errors can be attributed to many sources.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
