Error analysis is linguistic analysis that focuses on
the errors learners make by comparing between
the errors made in the target language (TL) and
that TL itself.
Error analysis, a branch of “applied linguistic” developed by Pit Corder in 1960s.
Error analysis is the study of errors made by the second and foreign language learners.”
It is the process to observe, analyze, and classify the deviations of the rules of the second
There are two types of errors
Interlingual errors
Intralingual errors
Errors that occur due to the negative influence the mother tongue on the performance of target language are interlingual errors.
It depends on linguistic differences between the first language and the target language.
Intralingual error is an error that takes place due to a misuse of a particular rule of the target language
Intralingual errors occur due to the faulty or partial learning of target language.
it is, in fact, quite the opposite of Interlingual error, it puts the target language into focus

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. ERROR ANALYSIS: AN OVERVIEW
PRESENTED BY: MS. BOCHRA BENAICHA SUPERVISED BY: DR. BOUALEM
BENGHALEM
2. OUTLINE
• Introduction
• The Scope of Error Analysis
• Error Vs Mistake
• Sources of Errors
• Process of Error Analysis
• The Significance of Error
Analysis
• Limitations of Error Analysis
• Conclusion
3. OBJECTIVES
• To gain general understanding of error
analysis
• To distinguish between error and mistake
• To understand the process of error analysis
4. EMERGENCE OF ERROR ANALYSIS
• Systematic comparison of L1 and L2
• Predicts errors
• Errors are the result of L1 interreference
• CA failed to predict all errors
• L1 interference is not the only source of
errors .
• Errors indicate failure
Contrastive Analysis
• Reaction to CA
• Focuses on language produced by learners.
• Examines actual errors produced by learners.
• Errors are inevitable part of learning.
Error Analysis
5. THE SCOPE OF ERROR ANALYSIS
• Branch of Applied Linguistics
• Approach of error analysis in SLA
• Established by Pit Corder.
• “Errors present learners’ language system”
(Corder, 1967)
6. THE SCOPE OF ERROR ANALYSIS
• “Technique for identifying, classifying and systematically interpreting the
unacceptable forms produced by someone learning a foreign language, using any
of the principals or the procedures provided by linguistics.” (Crystal, 2003:165)
• “A procedure used by both researchers and teachers which involves collecting
samples of learner language, identifying errors, classifying them according to their
nature and causes, and evaluating their seriousness”. (Keshavarz, 2012: 168)
• “The process of determining the error, its nature, causes and consequences”.
(James, 2015:2)
7. ASSUMPTIONS OF ERROR ANALYSIS
Error analysis is built upon three main assumptions:
a) Errors are inevitable part of language learning.
b) Errors are significant in different ways.
c) L1 interreference is not the only cause for learners’ errors.
(Keshvarz, 2012: 59)
8. ERROR VS MISTAKE
Error
Systematic deviation
Result of failure in
competence
High frequency
Learner is not aware
Cannot be self-corrected
Mistake
Random deviation
Result of failure in
performance
Low frequency
Learner is aware
Can be self-corrected
“An error is a result of a learner’s lack of competence; a mistake
however, occurs when this learner fails to perform their
competence.” (Corder,1967: 9).
Error Mistake
9. SOURCES OF ERRORS
Psycholinguistic sources: associated with the L2 knowledge system and
learner’s difficulties in L2 production.
Sociolinguistic sources: associated with learner’s ability to adjust his/her
language in a social context.
Epistemic sources: associated with leaner’s lack of world knowledge.
Discourse sources: associated with learner’s issues of information
organization and coherence.
Tylor
(1986)
10. SOURCES OF ERRORS
• Occur due to the negative transfer
• Result of L1 interference
• Can be orthographic, phonological, morpho-syntactic, lexico-semantic levels.
• Transfer/ interference errors
Interlingual
• Exclusive to L2,
• Result of learning context, communication strategies
• Include overgenralization, ignorance of rule restrictions, incomplete application of rules, false
conception hypothesized
• Developmental errors
Intralingual
11. PROCESS OF ERROR ANALYSIS
Collection of Sample of Learner’s Language
Error Identification
Error Description
Error Explanation
Error Evaluation
12. COLLECTION OF SAMPLE OF LEARNER’S LANGUAGE
• The massive sample: colleting several sample of language use from a large
number of learners.
• The specific sample consists of one sample of language use from a limited
number of learners.
• The incidental sample involves only one of language use produced by a single
learner.
• Data collection procedures:
The spontaneous or unplanned data
Elicited data.
13. ERROR IDENTIFICATION
a) What target language will be used as the point of evaluation for the
study?
b) Is the deviation related to failure in competence or failure in
performance?
c) Is it an overt error or covert error?
d) Is this deviation related to correctness or appropriateness?
14. ERROR DESCRIPTION
• Categorization and classification of
errors
Linguistic-based Taxonomy
Orthographic: occur when sound and letter
written differ. Eg: homophones and
homographs.
Phonological: transfer of elements from
L1 to L2. E.g: sank you
Lexico-semantic: associated with semantic
properties of lexical items.E.g: English is alive
language
Morphological-syntactic: wrong use of tenses,
plural phoneme, prepositions, articles…E.g:
Many book/ one trousers
Process-based Taxonomy
Omission: delete of linguistic items
E,g: She will go England
Addition: redundant use of unnecessary
linguistic items. E.g: Send to me the work
Substitution: replacing correct elements with
incorrect elements. E.g: Her biggest sister
Permutation: mis-ordering of words
E.g: We last year went to New York
15. ERROR EXPLANATION
Traces the source of the error:
L1 linguistic interreference,
Overgeneralization,
Hypercorrection,
Ignorance of rule restriction
Faulty teaching techniques.
16. ERROR EVALUATION
Determines global and local errors
Global errors: violate the overall structure of sentence.
Local errors affect only a single constituent in a sentence.
(Vaquez &Alberto, 2008: 140).
17. SIGNIFICANCE OF ERROR ANALYSIS
• EA is significant for two main reasons: its relevance to language teaching and its
contribution to the study of SLA. (Corder,1981:181)
• EA serves as pedagogical tool for SLA and Language Teaching
• EA enables teachers get information about learners’ competence identify and
correct errors.
• EA Provides learners with valuable feedback.
18. LIMITATIONS OF ERROR ANALYSIS
• Weaknesses of methodological procedures and scope
limitations,
• Errors maybe mis-classified,
• Error analysis makes no account to avoidance strategy,
• EA focuses only on productive errors; it ignores receptive errors,
• EA fails to provide further insights about the process of SLA.
