LINGUISTIC FACTORSCross – Linguistic Influence and

learner language

AGREEMENT OR DISAGREEMENT ACTIVITY.

Errors analysis describes and explain why learners make errors.

Error is the condition of having incorrect or false knowledge.

Mistake is a deficiency in competence.

Intralingual transfer happens within the target language itself.

Interlingual transfer happens from the native language to the second .

Error correction does not permit us identify strategies which learners use in language teaching.

1.1 THE CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS HYPOTHESIS AND THE CROSS-

LINGUISTIC INFLUENCECAH CLI

The CAH studies two languages in contrast.

Behavioristic and structuralist aproaches.

Interference L1 with L2. Hierarchy of difficulty.

Fries,1952; Stockwell, Bowen, Martin,1965.

The CLI recognizes the importance of L1 in learning L2 or more.

Intralingual - interlingual factors.

Odlin, 2003; Kellerman,1995; Kellerman and Sharwood- Smith, 1986.

PROVOCATIVE STATEMENTS

LET’S THINK ABOUT THE PAST!!!

Do you remember when you learned to…

Swim Skate Ride a motorcycle Drive a car

“ Learning is fundamentally a process that involves the making of mistakes”

Brown, H.D (2004)

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MISTAKES AND ERRORS

MISTAKE ERROR

It is a failure to utilize a known system correctly.

It is a slip of the tongue.

The speaker recognizes and corrects it.

It is not a deficiency in competence.

It is the condition of having incorrect or false knowledge.

It is not recognized by the learner.

An error can not be self-corrected.

It reveals a portion of the learner’s competence in the L2.

DEALING WITH ERRORS

THE TREATMENT OF ERRORS

Discuss the situation and decide

• Would you correct the error or mistake?•How exactly would you correct it?•When exactly would you correct it?

CONCLUSIONS

Errors are a means of feedback for the teacher reflecting how effective he is in his teaching style and what changes he has to make to get higher performance from his students.

Errors indicate the teacher the points that need further attention.

Errors show the way to be treated when their sources are identified correctly.
