Are Most of The Errors Which EFL Learners Make Due to Interference from

Introduction It is commonly assumed that where there be differences between L1 and L2, the learners L1 depart probably interfere with the L2 (negative speech communication transfer), whereas, when L1 and L2 argon similar, the L2 will assist the L2 learning (positive language transfer) (Ellis, 1994). Therefore, we tend to believe that most of the errors ar account of negative transfer. This is partly true according to many empiric studies of errors which have showed that many errors are common to different linguistic backgrounds. The L1 is, therefore, nonpareil of various sources of errors, and there might be other reasons which should be considered (Krashen, 1988).Approaches to ErrorsErrors are made when learners of L2 produce incorrect language because they do not agnise the correct form, while mistakes are made when learners produce incorrect language although they know the correct form (macmillandictionary.com). Learners can correct their own mistakes, moreover by definit ion, they can not correct errors. Errors are considered to be partial tone acquisition of the target language. In fact, errors should be viewed as "the tip of the crisphead lettuce" of a dynamic process of foreign language acquisition (brj.asu.edu). sort of of treating the developmental stages in learners language as errors, it may be burst to view these errors as partial acquisition.This point of view and many others concerning errors, however, incomplete overlook nor neglect the positive and negative influence of L1 on L2...
