Learner Language
Initially thought to be an imperfect version of target language

Contrastive Analysis
Viewed errors as a result of negative language transfer
Could not explain many errors

Researching Learner Language
What can errors tell us about the learning process?
Is the increase in errors always a sign that the learner is regressing?

The search continues…
• Error analysis– Detailed description
of errors really made– Goal: discover what
learner actually knows about the language
![Page 7: PSYCHOLOGY AND LANGUAGE LEARNING (II Bimestre Abril Agosto 2011)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480c36eb4af9fa4388b45a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Errors based on development
• Similar errors as first language learners

Interlanguage
• Learner language in its own right– Systematic– Dynamic

Movement through
stages isn’t strictly linear

What does it mean to know a language?
![Page 14: PSYCHOLOGY AND LANGUAGE LEARNING (II Bimestre Abril Agosto 2011)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480c36eb4af9fa4388b45a5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Importance of vocabulary
Most essential aspect of language for communication
English has 100,000 to 1 million words
Educated native English speaker knows
20,000+ words
2000 words needed for successful
communication

Study of language beyond the words and sentences
Language in context gives clues about the relationship between interlocutors

Relatively little research Negative transfer
explains many differences
Overgeneralization of difficult sounds
Perception vs. production
