错误分析及其对第二语言教学的启示

对于第二语言学习者来说,错误是在学习过程中不可避免的因素。传统的观点认为错误的出现是学习失败的表现,应该被彻底消除。与传统的观点相反,错误分析则从另一视角窥探错误。它认为在语言学习过程中错误并不只是不可避免的,而是必要的。错误可以体现出学习者个人创造学习的系统性和发展性的过程,从而使我们理解学习者内部的心理活动过程。通过对错误原因及错误类别的分析,这篇文章提供了错误分析具体实施步骤的详细描述,同时对它在第二语言学习方面带来的启示作用也进行了分析及总结。

As to second language learners,errors are inevitable factors in the process of learning second language.Contrary to some traditional views on errors which claim that the appearance of errors is the symbol of failure and should be eliminated completely,error analysis holds a different perspective to treat errors.That is,errors are not only inevitable but also necessary in second language learning.Errors can reflect systematic and developmental process which learners create individually,and thus enable us to understand comprehensively the psychological activity inside learners' mental stage.Through analyzing the reasons and classifications of error,this paper will provide a detailed description of the main steps of error analysis and summarize its illuminative function in second language teaching.
