The Uses of Error Analysis and Contrastive Analysis (1)

Johansson, Stig

English Language Teaching Journal, 29, 3, 246-253, Apr 75

Error analysis has been presented as a means of "finding a shorter way" in the analysis of learners' difficulties in foreign languages. The alternative starts with a comparison of the native and foreign languages in order to predict such difficulties. The two types are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. (Author/MSE)
