Abstract

This paper investigates the presence and analysis of errors in the process of learning a second language. Errors occur because of the influence of learners’ first language on their production of the foreign/second language. This can be regarded as the transfer of elements of one language to another in terms of lexis, grammar, phonology, etc. This paper focuses on the main types of errors, main linguistic levels, extralinguistic phenomena, and most importantly ways of improvement. For the study to achieve its objectives a literature review was undertaken that included, among other things books, policies, journals, and research articles on the same issue under study. In this paper, we aim to layout a theoretical framework of the general considerations of linguists regarding the main linguistic errors. Many researchers have performed studies on this issue. They consider their studies important to determine what kind of errors learners make when learning a second language.
