Details This study examines the effects of data-driven learning (DDL) on error identification in second language (L2) writing. The data consists of error identification instances from fifty-five participants, compared across different reference materials: the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), dictionaries, and no use of reference materials. There are three significant findings. First, the use of COCA effectively identified collocational and form-related errors due to inductive inference drawn from multiple example sentences. Secondly, dictionaries were beneficial for identifying lexical errors, where providing meaning information was helpful. Finally, the participants often employed a strategic approach, identifying many simple errors without reference materials, this strategy also led to mislabeling correct expressions as errors. The findings suggest that teachers should guide learners to effectively use appropriate reference materials to identify errors based on error types.
