Features: Current research on error analysis has some unsatisfactory aspects. They are mainly: , more research focuses on the application of error analysis than on understanding errors, and the research scope is not broad enough. Second, more research treats errors as results rather than the learning process, lacking depth and explanatory power. Third, there is more cross-sectional research than longitudinal research, which does not adequately reflect learners' actual situations. In recent years, there have been many articles on error analysis, but few monographs. This book is one of the few monographs on error analysis. Its main contribution is to provide a critical review of numerous studies, pointing out the achievements, levels, divergences, and issues of the research. Reading this book can not only deepen your understanding of error analysis but also help you learn many methods for conducting error analysis.
