What is the primary focus of contrastive analysis in second language learning?

• Identifying errors made by language learners

• Comparing similarities and differences between the native and target languages

• Analyzing learners' language proficiency levels

• Assessing learners' cultural background

What is the main objective of error analysis in second language acquisition?

• Identifying patterns of errors made by learners

• Comparing language proficiency levels of learners

• Analyzing cultural differences between languages

• Assessing learners' motivation for language learning

What term refers to the transitional linguistic system developed by second language learners?

• Intercultural communication

• Intralanguage

• Interlanguage

• Language transfer

Which of the following best describes the purpose of contrastive analysis?

• Predicting areas of difficulty for language learners based on the differences between languages

• Identifying errors made by learners in their second language

• Evaluating learners' proficiency levels in their native language

• Assessing learners' cultural awareness in language learning

What is the term used to describe errors that persist in learners' language use despite repeated exposure to the target language?

• Language transfer

• Fossilization

• Overgeneralization

• Interference

Which theory suggests that second language learners develop a unique linguistic system influenced by their first language and target language input?

• Universal Grammar theory

• Interlanguage theory

• Sociocultural theory

What is the term used to describe errors resulting from the influence of the learner's native language on their second language production?

• Fossilization

• Interference

• Overgeneralization

• Transfer

Which of the following is NOT a type of error commonly analyzed in error analysis?

• Motivational errors

Which of the following is a characteristic of interlanguage?

• It remains constant and does not change over time

• It reflects the learner's native language perfectly

• It exhibits systematic patterns of language use

• It is identical to the target language

What role does contrastive analysis play in language teaching?

• Contrastive analysis is not relevant in language teaching
• Contrastive analysis focuses on grammar rules rather than language transfer
• Contrastive analysis is only useful for advanced language learners
• Contrastive analysis helps teachers understand and address language transfer issues and design effective language teaching methods.
