error analysis
Definition
- Error analysis comprises a variety of linguistic analyses of the errors language learners make in producing or comprehending a new language. The two questions that guide this analysis are as follows: (1) What types of errors do they make? and (2) what are the sources of these errors? During the heyday of error analysis, it was thought that such analysis could give language teachers an idea about where learners are in the language learning process so that they could help students by focusing on areas that seemed most troublesome.
