Richards, David R. – 1977
The interlanguage hypothesis stresses that errors are a normal part of the language learning process. At the same time, in the view of many, the teacher has a responsibility to provide short cuts for the learner through appropriate corrective feedback.

Miller, Gloria E.; Yussen, Steven R. – 1982
