“Some Linguistic Problems Facing Arab Learners of English”

Abstract

It is only comparatively recently that researchers have begun to develop hypotheses about the process of second language acquisition. This work would help teachers to analyse students' errors by using certain techniques. They can also attribute a cause to an error with some degree of precision and find out whether, for example, mother tongue interference, or teaching techniques or problems in the target language are the major cause of their students' error. So, error analysis actually deals with errors comitted by learners of a second language. deals with errors comitted by learners of a second language. This study could be of significance to the foreign language learners. Error evaluation makes learners aware of the importance of communication in language learning and thus aware of the more serious types and consequently may try to avoid them.
