Understanding Errors in Second Language Acquisition

1. Introduction to second language acquisition NabiellaSyifarani 2201410090

2. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • ERRORS AND ERROR ANALYSIS Identifying errors Comparison of sentences produced by the learners with the correct sentences in the target language.

3. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • Describing Errors Two Classification Try to identify general ways in which the learners utterances different from target-language utterances. Classification into grammatical categories

4. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • Explaining Errors a. Systematic errors L2 learners create rules on their own – different to the rules of the target language. b. Universal Errors L2 learners commit the same grammatical errors.

5. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • Errors Evaluation Purpose : to help learners to learn an L2 Global errors Local Errors

6. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • Development Patterns The early stages of L2 acquisition.

7. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE The order of acquisition 1. Accurancy order

8. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • Sequence of acquisition • Transitional Construction • U-shaped course of development • Restructuring

9. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • Some Implications Internal cognitive mechanism control acquisition, irrespective of the personal background of learners or setting in which they learn.

10. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE • Variability in learner Language • Linguistic Context • Situational Context • Psycholinguistic Context • Form function Mapping • Free Variation • Fossilization

11. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE Linguistic Context In one context learners use one form while in other contexts they use alternate form.

12. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE Situational Context Learners vary their use of language similarly. They more likely to use the correct target-language forms in formal context and non-target language forms in informal context.

13. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE Psycholinguistic Context Learners have the opportunity to plan their production

14. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE Form function Mapping That learners make do not always conform to those who found in the target language.

15. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE Free Variation Learners do sometimes use two or more forms. Constitutes an essential stage in the acquisitions of grammatical structures

16. THE NATURE OF LEARNER LANGUAGE Fossilization Learners stop developing while still short of target-language competence.
