ELEJALDE-GOMEZ, Jessica    FERREIRA-CABRERA, Anita. Model for Treating Transfer Errors in SFL Writing Produced in Virtual Communities. []. , 48, pp.137-152. ISSN 0123-4870.

Error treatment, in general, aims to correct those errors related to the rules of the linguistic system in the target language. However, there are few proposals to deal with errors according to their source or origin, as in the case of direct or indirect influence of the mother tongue or errors appearing during the development of the interlanguage. In this context, we propose a model for treating mother tongue transfer errors, based on making the learner aware of this type of errors in the written production. This model emerged from the observational study of interaction in virtual learning communities, where learners practice writing spontaneously and freely, and other learners give feedback to the writing regarding the errors identified based on their own intuition or their linguistic knowledge. This observation took place over a certain amount of time in the context of the research conducted by Elejalde and Ferreira (2016), in which most of the identified errors came from the direct influence of the mother tongue. This model helps language teachers and students in the process of identifying transfer errors, thus contributing to making the students aware of said errors and their proper correction in different communicative situations.
