Which two of the following are true as per current understanding of language learning? a. Errors are learning areas. b. Errors hamper language learning. c. Errors should be corrected then and there. d. Errors are feedback for the teacher Correct Answer a and d

Language learning is the process of learning to speak and understand a foreign language. It helps children to acquire practical commands of language. It is a result of deliberate and conscious effort for a better understanding of foundational skills of language learning.

Key Points 

  • Errors are nothing but incorrectness made by a child during learning. When a learner can’t master a language or a topic, he/she is vulnerable to make errors.  
  • Errors are learning areas to give insight into children's thinking. Errors committed by learners in their writing and speaking should be treated as indications for learning. 
  • Errors are feedback for the teacher as they make teachers aware of learners' learning styles to cater to them according to their needs.
  • Error correction in students' written work is most effective when the teacher points out major errors using symbols and students self-correct them as self-correction of that mistake will clear their concept regarding that topic.

Hence, it could be concluded that a and d are true about errors as per current understanding of language learning.
