Students’ Linguistic Attitude Towards Language Mistakes/Errors in Learning and Using a Foreign Language

Summary As the intensity of communication increases, the number of language mistakes/errors increases. Nowadays, the acquisition and use of a foreign language often takes place in parallel, and language mistakes/errors are a natural part of this process but this does not mean that they must be tolerated. The study is based on the results of a sociolinguistic survey obtained in 2018 and 2019. 253 students of four Universities and specialties, as well as different study levels from Liepāja, Ventspils and Rīga participated in the survey anonymously. Most of the respondents indicated that Latvian was their mother tongue; for a small number of participants, it was a second language or a foreign language. The surveyed students also differed in the type and number of foreign languages acquired. The present paper is the second part of a wider study (see the results of the first stage of the research by Laiveniece and Lauze, 2020). The aim of this paper is to characterize students’ linguistic attitude towards language errors in learning and using a foreign language: how to evaluate errors, whether errors are generally permissible, what affects them, and how to eliminate them. In the course of the research, an assumption emerged: the more foreign languages are learned, the more tolerant the linguistic attitude is towards mistakes/errors that are made when speaking a foreign language. However, the analysis of the questionnaire findings did not confirm this. Most of the respondents attributed errors to the language learning process. Whether or not errors were made when speaking a foreign language was determined by the situation and purpose of the communication, as well as the level of language acquisition.

A Phenomenological Study of Writing Error Correction: Perspectives of an English Language Learner in Two Different Contexts

In second language writing, student errors in grammatical structure, word choice, or idea expression are a common phenomenon. How these errors should be treated poses a challenging question. In this qualitative study I attempt to explore the impacts of some current methods of error correction in second language writing through a phenomenological study of an English language learners who studied in Vietnam and the United States. The study participant was invited to reflect his learning experiences in an interview with the researcher. Theme-based analysis of the interview revealed that the manner in which teachers correct errors can have a considerable impact on student motivation to improve second language writing. The study participant indicated that over-correction of language errors inhibited his motivation to write in second language and that language teachers may consider providing an adequate amount of correction and feedback. Pedagogical recommendations are made to help teachers make appropriate corrections for their students’ writing papers.

Comparing Student Self-assessment and Teacher Assessment in Korean-English Consecutive Interpreting

Self-assessment in interpreter training has been recognized as an important tool to motivate learners and help them learn to evaluate their own performance. The literature on this topic shows that students’ self-assessment ratings positively correlate with trainers’ assessments, but there are certain differences between the two groups in terms of interpretation quality assessment. The present study wishes to contribute to research on self-assessment as a learning tool by comparing students’ self-assessments with teacher assessments in terms of a set of quality categories and identifying in what areas students need more guidance to draw pedagogical implications. For data collection, 20 first-year graduate students of Korean-English interpretation conducted self-assessment of their sentence-by-sentence consecutive interpretation in both directions. Two broad quality categories were applied, which are fidelity to the source text and target language adequacy, along with the three sub-categories of fidelity which are omissions, misinterpretations, and additions. An experienced interpreter trainer was recruited to perform assessment of the students’ consecutive interpretations based on the same quality categories. The results show that the students tended to focus more on target language quality in both directions while the teacher applied stricter criteria in evaluating fidelity of the interpretations. For instance, the study found several instances where students marked parts of their interpretations as target language errors while the trainer marked them as fidelity errors such as omissions and misinterpretations. The results suggest that the students were not consistent and reliable detectors of errors in their interpretation performance during self-assessment. This may be partly attributable to the fact that the participants were in the second semester of the two-year long graduate program, and in the process of learning how to evaluate the quality of interpretation accurately. Pedagogical implications of the findings are discussed, including the kind of guidance needed for students to learn how to conduct self-assessment more successfully.

Analisis Kesalahan Berbahasa Bentuk Baku Pada Masyarakat Poleang Barat

conversmost of the errors that appear in a piece of writing or spoken speech are caused by the presence of language spelling problems, errors in interpretation, the use of non-standard words that do not match their function. The purpose of studying language learners' language errors is to identify elements of the target language that cause language learning difficulties and to find explanations about the causes of language difficulties that result in language errors. The method used to identify language errors in the West Poleang community is a qualitative descriptive method with a note-taking technique. Ation Spoken language errors made by language users include errors at the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic levels. Mistakes made unconsciously due to lack of understanding of the phoneme structure and morphemes of the language being used.

Patterns of errors in texts written by Costa Rican university English learners: A corpus-aided study

The present corpus-aided study sought to identify the grammatical and non-grammatical second language (L2) error patterns of Costa Rican university English learners at all academic levels of a public university. Specifically, a total of 360 English as a foreign language learners, who were enrolled in the B.A in English or B.A. in English Teaching during the second semester of 2019, took the Quick Oxford Placement Test to ascertain their English Proficiency level and composed an argumentative text to elicit their written errors. Results from the placement test showed that the participants’ proficiency level ranged between B1 (low intermediate) and C1 (low advanced). In addition, the quantitative nature of the study required not only converting the handwritten compositions with a speech recognition software but also identifying and tagging all L2 errors with a tagging system. Analyses of a statistical software for data management revealed that the learner corpus contained a total of 33 L2 error patterns, which were classified as follows: 17 grammatical, 10 stylistics, and 6 lexical. Main descriptive findings indicated that although some error frequencies lowered to the point of having none as learners advanced in the major (e.g., capitalization and superlatives), other linguistic problem areas persisted all throughout (e.g., word form errors, fragments, and word order). Concluding remarks highlight that because the error frequencies of some L2 error categories still ranked high over time, learners’ L2 knowledge of lexical, syntactic, morphological, and stylistic domains could need more expert input (in the form of explicit instruction and/or feedback) depending on the complexity of the target structure.

Speech and Language Errors during Awake Brain Surgery and Postoperative Language Outcome in Glioma Patients: A Systematic Review.

Awake craniotomy with direct electrical stimulation (DES) is the standard treatment for patients with gliomas in eloquent areas. Even though language is monitored carefully during surgery, many patients suffer from postoperative aphasia, with negative effects on their quality of life. Some perioperative factors are reported to influence postoperative language outcome. However, the influence of different intraoperative speech and language errors on language outcome is not clear. Therefore, we investigate this relation. A systematic search was performed in which 81 studies were included, reporting speech and language errors during awake craniotomy with DES and postoperative language outcomes in adult glioma patients up until 6 July 2020. The frequencies of intraoperative errors and language status were calculated. Binary logistic regressions were performed. Preoperative language deficits were a significant predictor for postoperative acute (OR = 3.42, p < 0.001) and short-term (OR = 1.95, p = 0.007) language deficits. Intraoperative anomia (OR = 2.09, p = 0.015) and intraoperative production errors (e.g., dysarthria or stuttering; OR = 2.06, p = 0.016) were significant predictors for postoperative acute language deficits. Postoperatively, the language deficits that occurred most often were production deficits and spontaneous speech deficits. To conclude, during surgery, intraoperative anomia and production errors should carry particular weight during decision-making concerning the optimal onco-functional balance for a given patient, and spontaneous speech should be monitored. Further prognostic research could facilitate intraoperative decision-making, leading to fewer or less severe postoperative language deficits and improvement of quality of life.

ERROR ANALYSIS OF KOREAN PARTICLE-PREDICATE COLLOCATION BY INDONESIAN SPEAKERS

This study discusses an analysis of Korean language particle-predicate collocation error made by Indonesian speakers. This study aims to analyze the error of using Korean particle-predicate collocations done by Indonesian speakers. This study is written to answer two questions; which types of particle-predicate collocation errors do Indonesian speakers make the most? and what are the forms of Korean particle-predicate collocation errors made by Indonesian speakers? This study uses both qualitative and quantitative methods and uses the results of questionnaires that had been distributed online as material of analysis. The data obtained was calculated and classified based on the type of error using language error analysis and types of language error theory. The result of this study shows that the highest type of error made by Indonesian speakers in the use of particle-predicate collocation is substitution error (48.47%), followed by omission error (33.05%) and addition error (18.48%). Furthermore, the error of using nominative case particle-predicate collocations (39.47%) is highest types of error made by Indonesian speakers, followed by error in the use of object case particle-predicate collocations (30.30%) and error in the use of adverbial case particle-predicate collocations (30.23%).

In learning Arabic, students often make language errors influenced by their first language interference in learning the target language. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze language errors to minimize students' language errors and to know the material that needs in-depth study. This research talks about the common errors in the nominal sentence structure in scientific research. This research aims to know the types of common linguistic errors in the formation of sentence structure patterns in nominal sentence among students of the Arabic Language Education Department. The research method used is library research, meaning that the data collection derives from a summary of scientific research, and the technique used to analyze data is error analysis. The research results show that the common mistakes in sentence structure patterns were found in several student thesis abstracts, including the suitability of mubtada+khabar in its type, the interference of mother tongue in learning the target language, and the specificity of mubtada'. The results of this study serve as reflection and reference for teachers to explain the jumlah ismiyah material.

Strategies to develop French pronunciation using virelangue

This article examines the effectiveness of virelangue as a strategy to overcome phonetic interference in beginners who have never studied French. This case study qualitative research used pre-test and post-test strategies to see the development of pronunciation from each trial, then analyzed the tests results using the theories of phonetics and phonology by Léon (1993) and Chaer (2009), the analysis of language errors by Tarigan Tarigan (2011), and the theory of interference by Weinreich (2011). The results indicate that there is interference called phonetic treatment of borrowed words. The most difficult sounds to pronounce are [ɛ̃] and [ʒ]. Due to the limited knowledge of the research subjects, there is also hypercorrection. During these trials, there is a development of pronunciation that improved the research subjects accomplishment from average to outstanding. Asian language studies students, learning more difficult sounds, were the only group pronouncing the virelangue correctly in the last trial.

중국어권 한국어 학습자의 전성어미 사용 오류 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the overall transformational ending errors of Korean Learners in Chinese Language and examine the patterns and types of errors. Methods For this purpose, 1,467 examples of grammatical ending errors by Korean Learners in Chinese Language were analyzed from the error annotation corpus constructed by the National Institute of the Korean Language. Among them, there were 1,040 errors in written language and 427 errors in spoken language. After analyzing learners' errors by dividing them into written and spoken words, the types, patterns, and levels of errors for each proficiency level from beginner to advanced were examined. Results Korean Learners in Chinese Language showed a similar tendency to use transformational endings in written and spoken words. In general, the error forms of mainly adjective endings were calculated relatively. In addition, the types of errors shown with high error rate in written language are ‘syntactic error’ and ‘form error’. A high rate of error in spoken language is ‘pronunciation error’. Also, errors in the form of ‘replacement’ were found with high frequency in written and spoken words. Lastly, ‘misformal aspect + form error’ and ‘replacement aspect + syntactic error’ appeared relatively frequently from intermediate to advanced in written or spoken language. Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it looked at the types of errors in the transformational endings that appeared in each stage of the Korean Learners in Chinese Language according to the level and pattern of the error targeting the error annotation learners corpus of the National Institute of the Korean Language. In particular, considering that there are more errors in the transformational endings produced by intermediate and advanced learners, it is necessary to continuously educate Korean Learners in Chinese Language from beginner to advanced in the educational field.

Museum text translation in the Chinese context: the museum role and text production

ABSTRACT Discussion of museum text translation in the Chinese context started in 1991, and much attention is still being paid to language errors and ways of producing better translations, revealing the persistence of similar translation problems. This paper addresses the issue in a different way through engaging with museum studies. The museum was introduced into China a century ago by Western missionaries and gradually developed Chinese characteristics, especially in the museum role and museum text style, demonstrating the nature of Chinese museums as translation. Here we compare the museum role and museum text style in China and the West that greatly influence translation but are rarely noticed or touched upon in translation studies, perhaps because it needs to involve museum studies, which is outside the vision of many researchers. Based on the comparison, we propose some guidelines for translators, hoping to make a substantial contribution to the improvement of translation quality.

ERROR ANALYSIS AND ENGLISH SYLLABUS

The present article is an attempt to examine the place of English syllabus and its relationship with error analysis in English language class. In recent years, there has been a positive trend in English language courses with the focus shifting from teacher –centered to learner centered activities and in this connection, the role of error analysis as one of the theories has been associated with English language courses in teaching English in English foreign or second classes. This paper tries to trace theoretically the notion of Error Analysis and its important and validity in English language courses. The term Error Analysis gained prominence during 1960s and developed as a branch of Applied Linguistics to language teaching. It has been particularly associated with the field of linguistic analysis of language learner' errors in target language. One of the greatest contributions of Error Analysis to language teaching has been its emphasis on careful and extensive learners' errors for language syllabus in general and English in particular.

Analysis of Semantic Errors in students at the Mafaza Indonesia Islamic Boarding School

This study aims to determine several linguistic phenomena in students at the Mafaza Indonesian Islamic Boarding School, including language errors at the semantic level, this is intended to find out the causes or problems behind the occurrence of these errors, then overcome them by analyzing and mentioning the correct form of each error. In addition, this study also aims to find some efforts that can be made to minimize the occurrence of errors such as increasing the language level of the students. The approach used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study stated that: (1) There were errors at the semantic level among students at the Mafaza Indonesian Islamic Boarding School when they spoke Arabic. At least 70 language errors have been found at the semantic level, as it has also been found that the (main) cause of these errors is literal translation; (2) In an effort to correct language errors as well as minimize the occurrence of such errors, there are several things that need to be done by the teacher: First, conduct a small research on language errors in the place where he teaches. Second, get used to speaking Arabic properly and correctly, so that students can imitate and correct their own mistakes. If it is necessary to correct the students' mistakes, as much as possible the teacher does not say the word "WRONG" so as not to cause fear in the students to speak Arabic in the future. Third, as a preventive measure to avoid such mistakes, it is important for a teacher not to teach Arabic vocabulary without teaching how to use it, because that is the main reason that leads students to use and rely on literal translation.Keywords: Semantic Error Analysis, Literal Translation, Mafaza Indonesia Islamic Boarding School

Glocalisation of English in Kupang Linguistic Landscape, Timor, Indonesia

This paper aims to describe the glocalisation phenomena of English expressions found on minivans as a means of public transport in Kupang city of Indonesia. This is a linguistic landscape study. The use of English on public minivans is an easily observable thing for people of Kupang because, basically, the public vehicles in Kupang are attractively designed with a lot of symbolic and linguistic objects. The data in this study were collected through picture-taking techniques and interviews. The data were analysed using an interdisciplinary approach under linguistics studies. Results show that English use on public minivans is predominantly characterized by language errors (38%) and variations (62%). The high percentage of language errors and variations on the minivans probably indicates both low English proficiency among those involved in the transportation business and Kupang people as a creative but careless society. Moreover, the appearance of the English expressions serves a number of functions such as English attractiveness, Pragmatics, Social criticism, fashionability, customers’ ease with vehicles’ identification, and religiosity. Although English in this domain shows a typical style developed by Kupang people, for a number of reasons, it cannot be assumed as a new English variety that is coming into existence.
