Abstract
Error Analysis (EA) was initially conceived in early Second Language Acquisition research in the 1960s to investigate the systems underlying learner language and has since gained wider application in English Language Teaching research. However, for many language teachers, the practical and technological barriers to employing EA in their professional practices remain restrictively high. This paper demonstrates a simple yet robust procedure for EA that can be applied by anyone with access to the commonly available tools of Microsoft Word and Excel. Additionally, by drawing on data from an EA of 18 texts written by Japanese materials scientists, the paper illustrates how this procedure can inform language teaching practices by identifying the most pressing grammatical needs within a population of L2 English users.
本来、誤答分析(Error Analysis)は、語学学習者の言語の根本にあるシステムを調査する為に1960年代の初期第二言語習得(SLA)研究中に提案されていて、その後英語教授法(ELT)研究に広く使われるようになった。しかし、多くの語学教師等にとっては、仕事に誤答分析を用いるには技術的な壁が未だに高い。本論文では、一般的に使われているワードやエクセル等によって簡単で確実に誤答分析が出来る方法を紹介する。また、18名の日本人の材料科学研究者の文章の誤答分析のデータを用いて、どのようにしてこの方法を使って言語教育法を明確に出来るかを、第二言語として英語を話すグループの課題となる文法の必要性を示しながら、を説明する。

This paper demonstrates a simple yet robust procedure for EA that can be appliedby anyone with access to the commonly available tools of Microsoft Word and Excel. Additionally,作者:drawing on data from an EA of 18 texts written by: Japanese materials scientists,the paper illustrates how this procedure can inform language teaching practices by identifying themost pressing grammatical needs within a population of L2 English users。错误分析(ErrorAnalysis)是为了调查语言学习者的语言的根本系统,在20世纪60年代初期的第二语言学习(SLA)研究中被提出的,之后在英语教学法(ELT)研究中被广泛使用。但是,对于很多语言教师来说,在工作中使用错误答案分析的技术壁垒仍然很高。本论文介绍了根据一般使用的word和excel等简单可靠地分析错误答案的方法。另外,18名日本材料科学研究者的文章错误答案分析的数据表明,如何使用这种方法来明确语言教学法,语法的必要性成为说英语作为第二语言的小组的课题。说明。
