Help!  

  Has anyone got any suggestions on how to help older EAL pupils erradicate errors resulting from the influence of  first language in extended writing  eg. missing final "s", missing articles, problems with tenses, spelling?  

  If not what would you give priority to when helping them improve writing tasks?

  Thanks
