Essay from the year 2026 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies, , course: MASTER OF ARTS IN LANGUAGE TEACHING - 2ND YEAR, language: English, abstract: For student journalists, who are expected to convey information through university publications with precision, professionalism, and clarity, the English language is a vital tool. However, a few studies demonstrate that many student journalists still have difficulty with several facets of using English, especially when it comes to vocabulary, grammar, and structural coherence. With a 74% error density index, a thorough analysis of 118 news articles by high school journalists demonstrates widespread linguistic issues, such as grammatical, semantic, lexical, and graphological errors. This shows how difficult it is for student writers to use proper language forms in journalistic contexts. These results are consistent with larger worries regarding how well journalism students are prepared for the language requirements of their profession by standard English training. There is a gap between academic language training and real-world journalistic tasks, according to scholars, because the traditional General English curriculum fails to address the special communicative needs of aspiring journalists.
