MUNOZ MUNOZ, Belén C.. Consideration of Error and its Treatment in Second Language Learners’ Production: A Theoretical Approach. Lexis [online]. 2021, vol.45, n.1, pp.191-225. ISSN 0254-9239.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.202101.005.

Error and its correction in the process of second language learning continues to be a topic of debate among specialists in the area and among those in charge of carrying out the instructional processes. Issues such as what constitutes an error, the appropriateness of correction, the effectiveness of the different techniques that allow to implement a corrective treatment, among others, arise as inquiries that need to be analyzed. Thus, this detailed theoretical review emerges as a contribution to both the research work on error correction and the informed decision-making in a teaching-learning context of a second language, supporting, from a theoretical point of view, potential empirical actions tending to improve the acquisition process.

Keywords : errors in second language; acquisition; error treatment; language proficiency.
