UNIT 29
Categorising Learners Mistakes
This unit
is about categorizing learner’s mistakes, as we know students make a lot of errors
or slips through the learning process and teacher must have to know how to help
them to improve these kind of mistakes.
To begin
with, we have to recognize the differences between errors and slips. The first one, it happen when
learners try to say something and use the language unconsciously to trying to
understand and using it, The second one, are the result of tiredness, worry or
other temporary emotion such as wrong pronunciation, wrong vocabulary, and
wrong word, and some others. When a learner makes a slip they make a language
mistake but they are able to correct themselves. These kind of mistakes are
very common in the processing of language.
Then, it
is important to know that there are some causes of these mistakes such as L1 interference,
problems in accuracy,
appropriacy this
happen because learners not using language suitable for the context. Furthermore,
oral and writing are the most common ways of mistakes in which students not
send the message clearly because of missing words, sentences or utterance.
At the
end, I consider that to put in practice all I mention above it is necessary to
take into account the different ways to help learners to improve these kind of
mistakes. For example, do not ignore student’s mistakes, encourage them to take
ricks, show genuine interest in their work, and so on in order to motivate
them.
