| dc.description.abstract | The present work investigates EFL students’ common errors in oral conversations. This study seeks to identify the types of grammatical errors performed by third year students in the department of English at MMUTO. As for the second aim, it is to determine the sources behind these errors following the procedures of error analysis adopted by Pit Corder, specifically collection, identification, description and explanation. In order to conduct our study and reach the aims mentioned before, two data collection tools were used: Classroom observation sessions were conducted with third year EFL students in the department of English in MMUTO and a questionnaire which was submitted to fifty (50) third year students in the department of English at MMUTO. The gathered data were analyzed by using the rule of three for quantitative data, and discourse analysis (DA) for analyzing the classroom observation sessions. The results obtained reveal that third year students make different types of errors while they speak in the module of listening and speaking. These identified errors are mainly due to the lack of knowledge of speaking of the target language, overgeneralization and incomplete application of the English language rules of use and/or interference from previously learned languages. In order to avoid errors in oral conversations, students must learn the basic rules of the English language, and practicing orally the language in the conversations. This study is important as it gives third-year students in the department of English opportunities to recognize their errors | |
