Czenglish: A Challenge for Corpus-Based Practice
Original language description
One of the most typical phenomena in second/foreign language acquisition is negative transfer, known as interference, which is a negative influence of the learner’s first language (L1) on the second/foreign language (L2) they learn. The paper explores effective ways to use corpus-based activities in the English classroom with respect to typical mistakes Czech learners of English make. Its objective is to analyse six representative examples of systematic errors and present in-class practice which would lead to their elimination. Although in-class use of corpora might still be seen as a challenging task, both for students and teachers, the paper shows the beneficial effect on the increase of critical understanding of L2 and the learners’ motivation to deal with their mistakes.
