Forty intermediate students, all males, studying in an English Language Institute in Golpayegan participated in this study. The participants were supposed to write six narrative essays within six weeks. The first essay was considered the pre-test and the sixth essay was considered the post-test. The participants were provided with the feedback of their writings each week. The errors which arose because of the influence of L1 on L2 were considered CA-based errors. The Wilcoxon Test was then used to investigate the effect and the improvement of learners' grammatical and lexical errors by CA based error correction. The results of the study concerning the two hypotheses showed that CA based error correction was effective in the improvement of the participants' lexical errors, but it was not effective in the improvement of the participant' grammatical errors.
