L’erreur linguistique au service de l’enseignement efficace des langues

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present a linguistic and glottodidactic reflection on the phenomenon of error in the foreign languages teaching process. The proposed study should lead to a new approach to the phenomenon of error, which can result in increasing the learning efficiency. It is a more liberal approach because we speak of an error only in the case of violating the natural logic and not taking into account the frequency of usage. In other words, it is the cognitive understanding of the source of an error and the frequency of usage that must be examined first to eliminate errors. The article is concluded with some practical solutions based on the use of time and verb moods in French.
