CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypercorrection (also called “induced errors”) occurs when students have been over corrected, ironically pushing them to make new errors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Induced errors was first used by Stenson (1983) to refer to learner errors ‘that result more from the classroom situation than from either the students’ incomplete competence in English grammar or first language interference’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interlingual Errors Richards (1971) refers to these type of errors as ‘Interlanguage Errors” which are normally caused by the interference of learner’s mother tongue over the target language.

Detailed explanation-4: -Learners’errors should be corrected as soon as they are made in order to prevent the formation of bad habits. When errors are persistent, especially when they are shared by almost all students in a class, it is useful to bring the problem to the learners’ attention.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that developmental errors are common between a learner who is learning his mother tongue and the learner who learns the same language as a second language.
