Abstract: Grammatical error correction plays a crucial role in second language acquisition, especially in assisting English interlanguage learners. In this paper, we propose a novel knowledge graph enhanced interpretable English interlanguage error correction model. Specifically, we construct an interlanguage knowledge graph that maps lexical, syntactic, and semantic error patterns onto standard English grammar rules. Context-aware sequence-to-sequence architectures combined with graph fusion algorithms dynamically incorporate this structured external knowledge. Furthermore, the interpretability generation module retrieves the target rationale to form explicit linguistic feedback. Extensive experiments on the BEA-2019 benchmark and the constructed learner corpus show that our model outperforms existing baseline models by a true reasonable margin of 1.8%. At the same time, the retrieval accuracy reaches 85.6%, which confirms that the framework significantly enhances structural understanding and teaching transparency in automatic error correction.
