Next, a chi-square test was run by SPSS between two groups under the investigation in order to reject or support the hypotheses of the study. The results of this study indicate that interference from the learners’ mother tongue is the core cause of errors confirming the major idea of strong version hypothesis. The main conclusion is that the materials developed for the two groups under the investigation should be different.
