AB Previous studies have proven subject-verb agreement a difficult area for learners of English as L2. Thus, the aim of this study is to shed some light on subject-verb agreement errors and how these can be dealt with bearing in mind the following variables in relation to the participants: i) whether they attend a CLIL program; ii) their proficiency level in English; and iii) their motivation when writing in English. In order to do so, two storytelling tasks and an Acceptability Judgment Task (AJT) have been designed, together with a questionnaire to find out the students’ motivation status when writing in English and the reasons for that. The results of the experimental test reveal that: i) the omission of the 3rd person singular morpheme -s in written production is recurrent; ii) the error correction process should be adapted to the group’s cognitive and linguistic level and needs; and iii) the CLIL program impacts positively on the students’ motivation and linguistic proficiency. Lastly, a didactic proposal is presented to review the problematic aspects, especially in the non-CLIL group, and to reinforce the positive aspects in the CLIL group.
