Journal Title: Journal of Languages for Specific Purposes (JLSP) - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

The focus of my research is to analyse, to describe and to explain the interference errors in the area of​​ morphosyntax that occur in the written works of the Macedonian students who are studying German as a foreign language at the Faculty of Philology, the University “Goce Delčev” in Štip, as well as to describe the learning difficulties in studying and acquiring German as a foreign language (GFL). The work consists of two main parts, a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the basic terms and definitions that are closely connected to the subject of this paper are discussed in details. Since the focus of this work lies in particular on the interference at morphosyntactic level, we will ignore the spelling errors, although there were a number of them in the examined texts. Above all, the process of intralingual transfer is brought to the foreground. The results of this paper can serve as a basis for the preparation of teaching materials and GFL-techniques that will facilitate the Macedonian students’ acquiring German language. In the practical part, the results of the analyzed interference errors in the written paper of the students, were described and explained. A main focus is laid on the morphosyntactic differences between the Macedonian and the German language system and the interference errors in the written works of GFL-students during the foreign language acquisition process.
