In correcting errors, correction is a post-production exercise and basically deals with the linguistic errors. [3] Often in the form of feedback, it draws learners' attention to the mistakes they have made and acts as a reminder of the correct form of language.
Soon after, the study and analysis of learners’ errors took a prominent place in applied linguistics. Brown suggests that the process of second language learning is not very different from learning a first language, and the feedback an L2 learner gets upon making errors benefits them in developing the L2 knowledge. [9]
Chomsky (1965) made a distinguishing explanation of competence and performance on which, later on, the identification of mistakes and errors will be possible, Chomsky stated that ‘’We thus make a fundamental distinction between competence (the speaker-hearer's knowledge of his language) and performance (the actual use of language in concrete situations)’’ ( 1956, p. 4).
The teacher will correct the student's errors but also extend the learning by adding additional words or phrases. A further example, in English: Student: "I want eat." Teacher: "What do you want to eat?" In this example the teacher is making the correction to the student's speech (adding a "to") but also extending the learning by asking a question.
Processability Theory is now a mature theory of grammatical development of learners' interlanguage. It is cognitively founded (hence applicable to any language), formal and explicit (hence empirically testable), and extended, having not only formulated and tested hypotheses about morphology, syntax and discourse-pragmatics, but having also paved the way for further developments at the ...
The Input Processing theory, put forth by Bill VanPatten in 1993, [1] describes the process of strategies and mechanisms that learners use to link linguistic form with its meaning or function. [2] Input Processing is a theory in second language acquisition that focuses on how learners process linguistic data in spoken or written language. [3] [2]
Competence is the collection of subconscious rules that one knows when one knows a language; performance is the system which puts these rules to use. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] This distinction is related to the broader notion of Marr's levels used in other cognitive sciences, with competence corresponding to Marr's computational level.
The natural approach is a method of language teaching developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Natural Approach has been used in ESL classes as well as foreign language classes for people of all ages and in various educational settings, from primary schools to universities. [1]
