Journal Title: Journal of Science and today’s world - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 12

Abstract

The following questions have remained an endless topic in foreign language teaching: whether a learner’s linguistic mistakes should be corrected? Which mistakes to correct? When to correct? How to correct and by whom? The interlanguage theory proposed in 1970s has, without doubt, brought instructive guide and god-given gospel either in theory or in practice. This theory tells us that, mistakes are a necessary objective phenomenon in the process of language learning, and are symbol of a learner acquiring a second language. Mistakes are not a manifest of low capacity on the part of a learner, and on the contrary, not making mistakes would not enable a learner to learn a foreign language well The study and analysis of the errors made by second or foreign language learners has been a significant subject of study for a long stretch of time. But, in spite of the fact that a lot of preventive measures have been taken, some errors are bound to occur. Such being the case much care should be exercise to correct them closely and productively. In language teaching, linguistic mistakes are unavoidable, and how to deal with these mistakes is the first issue for ateacher to face. Iranian traditional English teaching paid special attention on linguistic accuracy. That is, whenever a mistake is discovered, it should be corrected immediately.
