Unit 11 The role of error
In this unit we talked about mistakes that are very important
for learning a language because it allows learners to play with the language. There
are two kind of mistakes; Errors
they happened when learners use a language beyond their knowledge because they
are still processing the language. On the other hand Slips are the result of
tiredness or temporary emotions but it doesn’t mean that they don’t really know
the language but it’s because the student’s attention is somewhere else.
The reasons why learners make errors are; interference when learners
use some words or phrases from the L1 into L2 the other reason happens when learners
are experimenting or working out with the language called developmental error
because this happens when learner of L1 and L2 are developing the language but
with time they correct themselves and this errors disappear with this process
they are aiming accuracy. Sometimes errors don’t disappear they get fossilized this
happens generally to adults.
Finally, sometimes when learners are improving fluency it’s ok
if the teacher ignores some of their mistakes to have the opportunity to
develop confidence and fluency.

ReplyDeleteI found your reflection great, since it is explicitly focused on the main terms used in Tkt. Even though they are not underlined, they are visible. Thanks for sharing extra sources so that we can log in and find out more about it.
Dear Gisela
ReplyDeleteI am strongly agree about your reflection about the role of error since it mentioned important information that this topic involves and as future teachers we need to know how to correct students`mistakes in a positive way.
I agree with your reflexion, I appreciate the links you put on here since they are very reliable and I watched all them and they make me interested more on the topic. So, I learned how to apply in classes
