6. Show a student’s progress and problematic areas to The teacher. They show how a language is acquired and what strategies the learner uses. The researcher can learn from these errors The learner

8. The process of Error Analysis Identifying errors Classifying errors Analyzing source of error Providing remedies

9. Deviances can be classified as follows: 1) Slips: Errors in performance which are easily and quickly self-corrected by the producer without having them pointed out. 2) Mistakes: These can be self-corrected if pointed out. There are two classifications of mistake: 3) Errors: These deviances are not self- correctable and further learning must take place before correction can take place.

10. Cannot be self- corrected. Can be self-corrected, Errors are ‘systematic,’ Only the teacher or researcher would locate them Mistakes are ‘not systematic,’.They can be located by the learner The learner is not aware of errors The learner knows that he made a mistake

11. (Mistake. The student knows the correct spelling, but wrote it wrongly) 1. He go to school. 2. He goes to scool. (Error. The student has not learnt the 3rd person form)

13. Surface strategy. There are two descriptive taxonomies of errors: Linguistic categories

14. 2.1 Linguistic categories Syntax And Morphology (Grammar) Semantics And Lexicon (Meaning And Vocabulary) Phonology (Pronunciation) Substance (Mechanics + Spelling)
