Reading errors among learners arise mainly due to the following reasons:
a) Complex sentence structure
b) Interference of Mother-Tongue
c) Dialogue
d) Intonation
Answers
Answer:
The two major causes of error, coined by the error analysis approach, are the Interlingual error which is an error made by the Learner's Linguistic background and Native language interference, and the Intralingual error which is the error committed by the learners when they misuse some Target Language rules, .
The correct answer is option b) Interference of mother tongue.
Learners typically begin with texts that have simple sentence structures.Yet they make a lot of mistakes. This is because of the interference of the mother tongue with the learning of a second language.
A small example is the sound ‘ k’.
In Hindi, the ‘k’ sound comes only from the respective letter.
In English the sound can be produced by the letter ‘k’ as in ‘kite’, ‘kidney’ or ‘kangaroo’ as well as with the letter ‘c’ as in ‘car’, ‘cash’ or ‘catch’. It can also be produced using the letters ‘ch’ as in ‘chemist’, ‘ache’ or ‘echo’. To add to the confusion, ‘ch’ can produce a different sound too, as in ‘chance’, ‘church’ or ‘cheese’.
English further has words in which the letter ‘k’ is silent altogether. This concept is missing from the Indian regional languages, and hence the learners have to make efforts to learn not to read the silent ‘k’ in ‘knock’ or ‘know’.
There are many such rules that the learners find difficult to follow simply because their mother-tongue has a different set of rules.
