Error and Error Analysis �A conspicuous feature of learner language �Useful to teachers to know what error learners make �Making errors may actually help learners to learn

Identifying error Desribing error Explaining error Error evaluation

Identifying Error �Comparing the sentences learners produce �Checking the consistency of learners’ performance �A clear distinction between error and mistake may not be posssible

Describing Error �Classifying categories errors into grammatical �Identifying the general ways in which the learner’s utterances differ from reconstructed target language utterances �Omission, misordering, and misinformation

Explaining Error �Errors are not only systematic, many of them are also universal �Some

Explaining Error �Errors are not only systematic, many of them are also universal �Some errors seem to be universal, reflecting learners’ attempt to make the task of learning and using the L 2 simpler

Error Evaluation �Some Errors can be considered more serious than others because they are

Error Evaluation �Some Errors can be considered more serious than others because they are more likely to interfere with the intelligibility

The Early Stages of L 2 acquisition �Some L 2 learners particularly if they are children undergo silent period �L 2 speech is propositional simplification

The Order of Acqusition �Investigating the order of acquisition by choosing a number of grammatical structures �Acquisition treats like a process of accumulating language structures

Sequence of Acquisition �The acquisition must be seen as a process involving transitional constructional

Sequence of Acquisition �The acquisition must be seen as a process involving transitional constructional �Acquisition follows a U-shaped course of development

Some Implications �L 2 is systematic, to a large extent, univeral, reflecting in which

Some Implications �L 2 is systematic, to a large extent, univeral, reflecting in which internal cognitive mechanism control of acquisition, and irrespective of the personal background

Variability in Learner Language �Language leaarning is systematic �L 2 learners vary in their

Variability in Learner Language �Language leaarning is systematic �L 2 learners vary in their use of the L 2 according to linguistic context �Learners also vary the linguistic forms they use in accordance with situational context
