Errors
- 2. Deviant form of language unacceptable by the speaker of the standard version because of its deviation from the accepted norm.
- 3. Types of Errors Inter-lingual: That arise from conflict between the TL and L1. Intra-lingual: While Intra-lingual are those the learners encounter in the TL. E.X: 1- Overgeneralization. 2- False analogies.
- 4. Other researchers contend that errors categorized as: Unique: That are neither developmental nor interference. Interference: That are reflect L1 structure in the speech of L2. Developmental: That are similar to L1 errors.
- 5. Sources of Error • The Learners • Teaching Materials or Methods • Difficulties inherent in the language • Interference from LI and L2
- 6. • The Learners: Errors caused by the learner's innate ability to learn language from hypotheses which are tested and manifest themselves in the formation of wrong analogies by over-generalization after observing some paradigms. • Teaching Materials or Methods: Errors caused by the teaching process itself. Certain types of teaching techniques increase the frequency of over-generalized structure.
- 7. • Difficulties inherent in the language: Errors caused by the complexity of a particular item being learnt, and the difficult structures inherent within the target language. • Interference from LI and L2: Errors caused by the negative transfer from the L1 to the L2.
- 8. Making errors are a natural and unavoidable part of this process. And the teacher should see before consider error making as an integral part of learning process.
