UNIT 11 THE ROLE OF ERROR



            Making mistakes plays an important part in the language learning process. As future teacher we need to take into consideration that mistakes help students to improve and in the future to avoid committing the same errors over and over again. There are two varieties of mistakes. They are errors and slips. The first one is when learners try to say something that is beyond their level of knowledge. On the other hand, slips are the result of tiredness worry or temporarily emotions. Errors are integral part of language acquisition. We can say that there are two big reasons why people commit error in language learning. The first one is the influence of the mother tongue. These kinds of mistakes are normal in learners that are learning a second language. As an example A student that is learning French use to say instead of ‘’Yes’’ instead of ‘’Oui’’or vice versa. That phenomenon is called interference. Some learners use or try to use the same patterns, lexis and even grammatical structure to interpret the target language.


IMPORTANT VIDEOS WITH EXTRA INFORMATION



            As a conclusion,   I consider that the role of error is directly connected with the language learning process. It is necessary to commit errors in order to realize about what we need to improve to overcome these errors. I learned different kinds of mistakes. I will apply this knowledge with my student through many pieces of information asking for correction about grammar mistakes, syntax and so on. Also we can develop speaking activities to avoid fossilization.
