Error Analysis (EA) is a technique that aims to systematically describe and explain deviations in a learner's language. EA helps understand the process of second language acquisition by showing statistically the linguistic areas and errors learners encounter. The errors provide valuable feedback to teachers and learners on strategies and progress, and insights to researchers on the nature of language learning. EA classifies errors as interlingual, due to influence from the first language, or intralingual, due to overgeneralization or influence from the second language. Critics note errors may be wrongly classified and EA only focuses on what learners cannot do, not the learning process.

Error Analysis What is EA? EA is a technique which aims to describe and explain the systematic nature of deviations or errors generated in the learners language.
Error Analysis The importance of EA? 2. EA helps to understand the process of SLA. 3. EA shows statistically the troublesome linguistic areas or errors that L2 learners encounter in learning.
Error Analysis 1. The errors give valuable feedback to both teachers and learners regarding learner strategies and progress. 2. The errors also provide researchers with insights into the nature of SLA process.
EA Assumptions 1.EA is not restricted to errors caused by negative transfer from the L1, it covers all types of errors.
EA Assumptions 1.EA, unlike CA, provides data on real problems and this may lead to right solutions in the L2 teaching.
EA Assumptions 1.EA is not confronted with problems such as accurate and explicit descriptions of languages, compatibility, knowing the two languages, etc.
1. Collection of errors 2. Identification of errors EA Methodology 3. Classification of error types
EA Methodology 4. Statement of relative frequency of error types 5. Identification of the areas of difficulty in the L2 6. Determination of the source of errors
EA Methodology 7. Determination of the seriousness of the error 8. Remedy by the teacher in the classroom
Classification of Errors Interlingual Errors Intralingual Errors Or Transfer Errors, i.e. Errors due to the effect from L1. Or Overgeneralization Errors, i.e. Errors due to the effect from L2.
Classification of Errors Interlingual Errors Intralingual Errors Phonological Syntactic Semantic/b/ for /p/ *Huda good student Literal translation: *You fall from my eye
Classification of Errors Interlingual Errors Intralingual Errors Phonological Syntactic Semantic Count vs. Country *The letter sent to Ali Idiomatic expressions: *Whats up Mike!!
EA Critics Errors may be wrongly classified between language tasks. The same error may be classified as interlingual and intralingual: *He intelligent.
EA Critics 1.EA stresses only on what the learner cannot do at a given point in time. It doesnt give any insights into the course of SLA process.
EA Critics 1.Difficulty of error identification which is mainly due to the different usages of the L2 norms: formal vs. informal context spoken vs. written language
EA Critics Learners some times adopt the avoidance strategy not commit errors. In this case certain types of errors dont appear in the L2 learners performance.
