Identification of
errors
Before analysing a text it is important to
define what an error is beforehand. For
example when identifying grammatical
errors in English learners texts one has to
compare them to what is grammatically
correct in English grammar books which I
will do in my study. However, if the aim is
to analyze learners errors in oral
production one has to take into count
which English variety the learners are
exposed to when identifying their errors.

Description of Error

Corder writes that in order to describe an error one has to specify


how the English learners error differs from the native speakers.
Therefore a categorization of the grammatical errors needs to be
developed, as these five following principles below show :
Errors of omission
Error addition
Misinformation/Substitution
Misordering
Blends

Explanation of errors

This is the most important part of Error


Analysis as it really describes which
factor has affected the learner to
make such an error.
Some factors are for instance:
1. Transfer errors
2. Overgeneralization error

Error evaluation

Furthermore, the last step in Error Analysis is to


evaluate and draw a conclusion on the gathered
results. It is in this step that the different errors are
being weighed in order to distinguish which error
should get more attention and be taught in class
The evaluation of learner error poses a great number
of problems. It is not clear what criteria judges have
used when asked to assess the categories of an error.
Indeed, error evaluation is influenced by the context
in which the errors occurred.
