Measuring learner (mis)use: Tense and aspect errors in the Bulgarian and German components of ICLE

Author(s): Svetla Rogatcheva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The English tense-aspect system has been identified as notoriously difficult for EFL learners from a variety of mother-tongue backgrounds and proficiency levels. This is due to such factors as inadequate descriptions of tense and aspect in teaching materials or differences between the English tense-aspect system and the tense-aspect systems of the learners’ native languages. This paper examines learner use of tense-aspect forms on the basis of the Bulgarian and German components of the International Corpus of Learner English. The focus of the study is on learner misuse of tense-aspect forms and the methods to measure it. The results show that both learner groups have problems with the sequence of tenses, although their accuracy rates for the individual tense-aspect forms differ.

Selected errors in the use of verbs by adult learners of English at B1, B2 and C1 levels

Author(s): Sylwia Twardo / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper presents an analysis of selected error types that appear in a learner corpus of students’ examination work in English, tagged for part of speech (POS) using CLAWS7. The study focuses on verbs and embraces two aspects: errors made in POS- tagging of verbs, and non-word errors made by students in words tagged as verbs. Non-word errors are words which do not belong to an English word list. The erroneously POS-tagged verbs were mostly non-words, but some were other parts of speech. In the latter case the errors may have been caused by the context in which the students used these words. The non-word errors were in most cases spelling errors but also morphological errors mainly connected with creating the past forms and –ing forms.
