This study investigates the lexical semantic errors committed by two groups of Arab EFL learners: Egyptian and Saudi.180 essays are analyzed using of Corder's (1981) model of Error analysis. It is argued that both groups have common interlanguage structures. However, there are culture-specific errors in each group . Collocation errors are the most frequent in the Egyptian group while literal translation errors are the most frequent in the Saudi group. It is also argued that interlingual errors are the most pervasive in both groups
