When learning a new language, students will inevitably make mistakes that can be categorized as slips, errors, or attempts. Slips are mistakes that can be self-corrected, errors require explanation as students cannot fix them themselves, and attempts happen when a student tries to say something without fully knowing how. Mistakes may occur due to not fully grasping new information, false friends between languages, or developmental errors as a student's language knowledge progresses and they make logical assumptions about grammar or vocabulary that turn out to be incorrect.
Mistakes slips-errors-and-attempts
- 1. Mistakes, Slips, errors and attempts
- 2. When students are acquiring a new language is normal that they make mistakes but we can divide mistakes into three categories.
- 3. Slips • Are mistakes wich students can correct themselves once the mistakes has been pointed out to them.
- 4. Errors • Are mistakes which students can not correct themselves and which, therefore need explanation.
- 5. Attempts • Are mistakes that students make when they try to say something but don't yet know how to say it.
- 6. Reasons • One reason is that students have not quite grasped the new information and so continue to make errors.
- 7. False friends • Words that sounds the same but have completely different meaning tis can also cause trouble, especially for speakers of Romance language which share a common heritage with English • Example: Libreria means book shop not library.
- 8. Developmental Errors • These occur naturally as the students language knowledge develops and are the result of the students making apparently sensible assumptions about the way language work. • example saying I seed instead of I saw.
