RELEVANCE OF ERROR ANALYSIS IN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Errors in foreign language teaching, particularly in English, are cases that
are difficult to avoid. There are numerous factors that can cause English as
a foreign language learners to make mistakes. Interference,
overgeneralization, transitional competence markers, communication and
assimilation strategies, and teacher-induced errors are some of these
aspects. As English as a foreign language teachers, we must improve our
teaching methods in order to reduce the errors that students consistently
make. Furthermore, while errors are undesirable in the process of learning
English as a foreign language, error analysis is beneficial to both students
and teachers. Error analysis is required for learners to show them which
aspects of grammar are difficult for them, whereas it is required for
teachers to evaluate.
