Abstract
The present study is an attempt to analyze errors made by Iranian EFL students. This study specifically, considered comparative analysis of errors made by these learners. The subjects of this study were 30 undergraduate translation students, studying at Islamic Azad University, Sanandaj branch, and 30 undergraduate translation students studying at Islamic Azad University, Tonekabon branch. The subjects were asked to translate different predetermined Persian sentences into English. The researcher used Dulay, Burt, and Krashen’s (1982) classifications model of error analysis for analyzing learners’ errors. 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.
