identify them?

Accuracy
Examples 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 all contain examples of inaccurate language.
• In Example 1 there is a grammar mistake. The learner has missed the third
person s from the verb. The learner should have said 'She likes this picture'.
• In Example 3 there is a vocabulary mistake. The learner has used suit
instead of swimsuit. The learner should have said 'I wear my swimsuit in the
sea'.
• In Example 4 there is a grammar mistake. The learner has put the subject
and verb in the wrong order in the indirect question. The learner should have
said 'Do you know where the post office is?'
• In Example 5 there is a pronunciation mistake. The learner has used the
long /ii/ sound when she should have used the short /i/ sound. The learner
should have said 'The dog /bit/ me'.
• In Example 6 there is a pronunciation mistake. The learner has stressed the
final syllable of the word happened, making it into a three-syllable word
when it is in fact pronounced as a two-syllable word /'haepand/
Appropriacy
Example 2 contains an example of inappropriate language. Although Example
2 is accurate, there is a problem with appropriacy. It is rude to say 'Shut up!' in
the classroom. The learner should have said 'Can you be quiet, please?', or
something similar.
Written mistakes
As with oral mistakes, these can also be categorised into slips or errors in
accuracy or appropriacy, or errors in communication.
Have a look at this story written by a learner. In the margin, there is a code
written by the teacher to show different kinds of mistakes. Can you work out
what the code means?
