Beschreibung
In the last three decades the field of language teaching and learning has undergone a paradigm shift towards Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which implied an abrupt departure from an extensive study of learner errors. This study examines the extent to which the CLT paradigm shift has left its mark on learner errors.
