Error Analysis in a New Context: A Discourse Study of Errors in General Linguistics and CALL

This study investigated the nature of error analysis in the application of computer in second language learning. Nowadays, this discipline is named Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). While error analysis theory in general linguistics has already been defined (e.g.: Menyuk, ۱۹۷۱; Dulay, Burt & Krashen, ۱۹۸۲; Keshavarz, ۲۰۱۱) there is no clear and accredited error analysis theory or classification in CALL yet. So this study has been conducted to see whether the nature of errors in CALL is differed from that of general linguistics or not. In this study, after an overall introduction to error analysis, error analysis in CALL has been investigated. The findings suggest that a new classification of error types in CALL can be proposed.
