Q

F46r8what are the three basic CA assumptions:
1- …………………………………………………………
2-………………………………………………………….
3-………………………………………………………….

A

(1) the main difficulties in learning or using a new language are caused by interference from the first language

(2) these difficulties can be predicted by contrastive analysis
(3)teaching materials can benefit from contrastive analysis, which provides insight into how the effects of L1 interference can be reduced.
