Common mistakes in learning English
• Fossilization: Some errors, specially errors in
pronunciation, persist for long periods and
become quite difficult to get rid of. Examples
of fossilized errors in Arab ESL learners are the
lack of distinction between IpI and Ibl in
English
• Overgeneralization: This is the use of one
form or construction in one context and
extending its application to other contexts
where it should not apply. Examples of
overgeneralization include the use of comed
and goed as the past tense forms of come and
go and the omission of the third person
singular s under the heavy pressure of all
other endless forms as in I,e go.
• L1 interference is when learners apply the
rules of grammar as they know them from
their first language to the new language . E.g
Walk you to school today?
