Abstract	Writing is considered varied with context and cannot be distilled down to a set of abstract cognitive or technical abilities. It always involve a combination of talent and skill and that makes it complex yet writing becomes more complex for ESL learner when they write using the second language in the academic context. With the growing interest in linguistic accuracy in relation to L2 writing pedagogy, this study generally aimed to evaluate the second language learners' syntactic errors in ESL writing. Data extracted from the fifty-four (54) third year and fourth year ESL students reveal that the ESL learners are seldom exposed in writing. Their predominant errors along syntactic structures are on tense, pronoun-antecedent agreement and faulty parallelism. Those who are in the higher year level tend to commit lesser syntactic errors. Furthermore, year level and writing exposure highly relates to their incidence or occurrence of syntactic errors in ESL writing. (As Provided).
