Abstract

Iako se analiza grešaka uglavnom smatra prevaziđenom u istraživanjima koja se bave usvajanjem drugog jezika, ona se i dalje široko primenjuje u oblasti metodike nastave stranih jezika. Cilj ovog rada je da se ponovo sagledaju mogućnosti i ograničenja analize grešaka pola veka nakon što je ovaj pristup postavljen. Istraživanje predstavljeno u ovom radu smešteno je u specifičan kontekst engleskog jezika struke, sa ciljem da se analiziraju greške u prevodima studenata inženjerstva. Za razliku od većine ovakvih analiza, ovo istraživanje ne ispituje samo gramatičke greške, već i greške u vokabularu. Posebna pažnja posvećena je objašnjenju porekla grešaka, odnosno utvrđivanju da li je greška nastala pod uticajem maternjeg jezika (međujezičke greške) ili stranog jezika (unutarjezičke greške), nakon čega sledi dalja analiza glavnih uzroka ovih međujezičkih i unutarjezičkih grešaka. Na osnovu rezultata i implikacija prikazane analize, zaključuje se da analiza grešaka, uprkos svojim nedostacima i ograničenjima, pruža dragocen uvid u strategije koje studenti koriste, kao i u prepreke na koje nailaze u procesu učenja stranog jezika. Stoga se rezultati analize grešaka mogu koristiti kao koristan resurs za unapređivanje i nadogradnju postojećih pristupa u nastavi, kao i za njihovo prilagođavanje specifičnim potrebama studenata. / Although largely abandoned and criticized in Second Language Acquisition research, Error Analysis is still widely employed in the field of English Language Teaching. The aim of this paper is to reinvestigate the potentials and limitations of the Error Analysis approach half a century after its establishment. The analysis presented in this paper is placed in the specific context of English for Specific Purposes, aimed to analyze errors in engineering students’ translations. Unlike the majority of Error Analyses, this study investigates not only grammatical but also vocabulary errors. The main focus is placed on the explanation of errors, i.e. determining the sources of learners’ errors, followed by further analysis of the main causes of both interlingual and intralingual errors, including overgeneralization, ignorance of rule restrictions, overextension of analogy, etc. Based on the results and implications of the presented analysis, it is concluded that Error Analysis, despite its shortcomings and limitations, provides valuable insight into the strategies learners employ as well as the obstacles they encounter in the process of foreign language production, which can be used as a resource to improve or supplement the existing teaching methodologies and adapt them to the specific needs of students
