This article describes the stages of doctoral research in the construction of a computational corpus from texts written by students of English as a foreign language. The compilation of the data was carried out according to the procedures of the computational corpus linguistics (McEnery & Hardie, 2011). The corpus allowed determining the most frequent errors of students in order to know the level of interlingua and to improve teaching practices for learning.
