| Résumé : |
The present research seeks to identify the different types of spelling errors related to the
complexity of the English orthographic system that second year students of English as a
foreign language (EFL) at Frères Mentouri Constantine 1 University, make. Furthermore, this
study investigates the difficulties that students usually face when they write words with
complex orthography. Therefore, we hypothesised that second year students would spell
words with phoneme-grapheme mismatch the way they are pronounced. To check the validity
of this hypothesis, a test and a questionnaire were administrated to a random sample of forty
second year English students at the department of English, Frères Mentouri Constantine 1
University. The obtained results support the hypothesis suggested. Due to their weak spelling
skills and lack of knowledge as how different English phonemes are represented in spelling,
the students tend to rely on pronounced phonemes whenever they write words with no one-toone correspondence between sounds and letters. Indeed, the students misspelled words that
contain silent letters, different pronunciations of the same grapheme, different graphemes that
represent the same phoneme, and morphemes with different pronunciations. Furthermore, the
results show that the students make different types of spelling errors such as omission,
addition, and substitution. It is important for students read materials in English, use
dictionaries and make use of spellcheck software so that they familiarize their eye with the
nature of the English spelling, and thus be able to minimize errors related to the influence of
the non-consistency/un-correspondence between phonemes and graphemes in English. |
