O'Keeffe, Leo E. – System, 1976
Lexical selection is often difficult for second language students. When, in the case of errors not covered in grammar books, the teacher is able to work out the explanation (feature cooccurrence, for example), the student will have a means of avoiding the error in the future. (POP)

Burt, Marina K. – 1974
In recent years, there has been a growing research interest in the analysis of errors adults make while learning a second language. The underlying objective of most of these analyses has been to reveal the systematicity of adult errors in an effort to understand the process of adult second language learning. This paper deals with errors from a…

Ross, Janet – TESOL Quarterly, 1976
It is asserted that many errors in a foreign language result not merely from inaccurately learned grammatical items or structures but also from failure to understand the meaning distinctions indicated in the grammar of the new language. Implications for language teaching are discussed. (Author/RM)

Burt, Marina K. – 1971
In deciding what grammar should be taught, teachers of English as a second language can notice and record common errors (goofs) made by their students. It is possible to expose all types of goofs, state the rules to correct them, acquaint the teacher with the types of goofs made by persons from all over the world, and give them the grammar…

Zydatiss, Wolfgang – Linguistik und Didaktik, 1975
Some unsuccessful teaching techniques have been developed, based on certain concepts in generative-transformational grammar and on the equating of linguistics and psychology. We need psycholinguistically oriented research in FL learning and research in error and contrastive analysis and tests. "There," causative "have" and fronted objects are…

Spilka, Irene – 1976
Before any conclusions can be drawn about the relative complexity of grammatical items, the items should be thoroughly analyzed. For example, learning to use French gender involves much more than learning to recognize formal characteristics which account for gender in nouns; it also requires that semantic gender features be mastered, so that…
