M Ed Second Semester (CA/EA quiz)

What is the primary goal of Contrastive Analysis (CA)?

• • To compare two unrelated languages.

• • To predict areas of difficulty for language learners.

• • To analyze errors made by native speakers.

• • To create new language teaching materials.

1. Which type of error occurs when learners apply a rule too broadly?

• • Interlingual error

• • Intralingual error

• • Overgeneralization

• • Fossilization

1. What does the term “interlanguage” refer to?

• • The native language of a learner.

• • The target language being taught.

• • The transitional language system created by learners.

• • The language spoken in international contexts.

1. Which type of error analysis examines learner errors to understand their causes?

• • Contrastive error analysis

• • Interlanguage analysis

• • Error prediction analysis

• • Error analysis

What is the Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis?

• A) Similarities between languages facilitate learning.

• B) Differences between languages cause difficulties.

• C) Native language interference is beneficial.

• D) Error analysis is unnecessary.

• • Similarities between languages facilitate learning.

• • Differences between languages cause difficulties.

• • Native language interference is beneficial.

• • Error analysis is unnecessary.

What is the purpose of studying interlanguage in second language acquisition?

• • To identify native language interference.

• • To understand language development stages.

• • To improve language teaching materials.

• • To compare languages.

Which error type occurs when learners continue making the same mistakes despite exposure to the target language?

• • Interlingual error

• • Intralingual error

• • Fossilization

• • Overgeneralization

What is the main difference between Contrastive Analysis (CA) and Error Analysis (EA)?

• • CA focuses on comparing languages, while EA analyzes learner errors.

• • CA predicts areas of difficulty, while EA predicts language proficiency.

• • CA examines native speakers, while EA examines learners.

• • CA is theoretical, while EA is practical.
