Sturm, Jessica L. – Foreign Language Annals, 2019
A body of previous work in second- and foreign language pronunciation instruction (e.g., Lord, 2005; Miller, 2012) has shown that explicit phonetic and pronunciation instruction is beneficial. However, Olson (2014) noted that just a few minutes per week of instruction are devoted to pronunciation in most classrooms. What is the effect of such…

Mehrabi, Marzieh; Rahmatian, Rouhollah; Safa, Parivash; Armiun, Novid – International Education Studies, 2014
This paper analyzes the spoken corpus of thirty Iranian learners of French at four levels (A1, A2, B1 and B2). The data were collected in a pseudo-longitudinal manner in semi-directed interviews with half closed and open questions to analyze the learners' syntactic errors (omission, addition, substitution and displacement). The most frequent…

Royle, Phaedra; Stine, Isabelle – Journal of Child Language, 2013
We studied spontaneous speech noun-phrase production in eight French-speaking children with SLI (aged 5;0 to 5; 1) and controls matched on age (4;10 to 5;11) or MLU (aged 3;2 to 4;1). Results showed that children with SLI prefer simple DP structures to complex ones while producing more substitution and omission errors than controls. The three…

Chishiba, G. M.; Mukuka, J. – African Higher Education Review, 2012
Language interference is one of the factors that affect language learning by many learners of second and third languages. In Zambia, the impact of language interference on the learners of French requires closer attention. Our literature review shows that few studies have looked at the impact of interference from Zambian languages on the learners…

Wee, Roselind; Sim, Jacqueline; Jusoff, Kamaruzaman – Educational Research and Reviews, 2010
This study was conducted to identify and describe the written verb-form errors found in the EAP writing of 39 second year learners pursuing a three-year Diploma Programme from a public university in Malaysia. Data for this study, which were collected from a written 350-word discursive essay, were analyzed to determine the types and frequency of…

Joy, Rhonda – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2011
The study reported on in this paper investigated the concurrent development of spelling in children learning two languages. The study compared over time and between languages the types of spelling errors made in English as a first language and French as a second. Fortyseven grade one English-speaking children completed an English and French…

Anton-Mendez, Ines – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2010
To address questions about information processing at the message level, pronoun errors of second language (L2) speakers of English were studied. Some L2 pronoun errors--"he/she" confusions by Spanish speakers of L2 English--could be due to differences in the informational requirements of the speakers' two languages, providing a window into the…

Freudenthal, Daniel: Pine, Julian; Gobet, Fernando – Journal of Child Language, 2010
In this study, we use corpus analysis and computational modelling techniques to compare two recent accounts of the OI stage: Legate & Yang's (2007) Variational Learning Model and Freudenthal, Pine & Gobet's (2006) Model of Syntax Acquisition in Children. We first assess the extent to which each of these accounts can explain the level of OI errors…

Phillips, Colin – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2010
The 1990s witnessed a major expansion in research on children's morphosyntactic development, due largely to the availability of computer-searchable corpora of spontaneous speech in the CHILDES database. This led to a rapid emergence of parallel findings in different languages, with much attention devoted to the widely attested difficulties in…

Investigating Learner Variability: The Impact of Task Type on Language Learners' Errors and Mistakes
Thouesny, Sylvie – CALICO Journal, 2010
In a project-based approach to teaching a foreign language at the university level, students are often required to participate in several task-based writing activities. In doing so, language learners not only write incorrect forms, but also correct forms of the same structures, both of which provide useful information on their strengths and…

Royle, Phaedra; Thordardottir, Elin T. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2008
This study examines inflectional abilities in French-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) using a verb elicitation task. Eleven children with SLI and age-matched controls (37-52 months) participated in the experiment. We elicited the "passe compose" using eight regular and eight irregular high frequency verbs matched for age…

Aydin, Ozgur – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2007
The purposes of this study are to test whether the processing of subject relative (SR) clauses is easier than that of object relative (OR) clauses in Turkish and to investigate whether the comprehension of SRs can be better explained by the linear distance hypothesis or structural distance hypothesis (SDH). The question is examined in two groups…

Kuiken, Folkert; Vedder, Ineke – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (IRAL), 2007
In a study on L2 proficiency in writing, conducted among 84 Dutch university students of Italian and 75 students of French, manipulation of task complexity led in the complex task to a significant decrease of errors, while at the same time a trend for a lexically more varied text was observed (Kuiken and Vedder 2005, 2007, in press). Based on this…

Wilczinska, Veronica – Francais dans le Monde, 1989
A study of error patterns in Polish students' use of the French article provides the basis for an instructional approach that focuses on developing students' linguistic awareness rather than teaching rules of usage. (MSE)

Buteau, Magdelhayne F. – IRAL, 1970
In analyzing the errors made in a French grammar test by intermediate level English-speaking learners of the language, it was found that not all mistakes could be accounted for by interference from the native language, but that other psychological factors were involved as well. (FB)
