Dalam mempelajari bahasa asing seperti bahasa Sepanyol, pelajar sering kali melakukan kesilapan sama ada dari aspek fonologi, morfologi, sintaksis dan semantik. Kesilapan yang berlaku dipengaruhi oleh banyak aspek seperti pengaruh bahasa ibunda, bahasa kedua pelajar, perbezaan ciri linguistik yang terdapat pada bahasa sasaran dan bahasa ibunda pelajar dan sebagainya. Aspek kesilapan yang menjadi fokus dalam kajian ini adalah kata kerja bahasa Sepanyol yang merangkumi pembentukan dan penggunaanya dalam ayat. Pelajar sering kali keliru dengan bentuk konjugasi kata kerja yang pelbagai berdasarkan subjek dan kala, melakukan penambahan kata kerja yang tidak perlu, mengurangkan kata kerja yang perlu, pemilihan kata kerja yang salah dan melakukan terjemahan yang tidak tepat. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini dilakukan untuk mengenal pasti jenis kesilapan dalam penggunaan kata kerja oleh pelajar Melayu dan menentukan punca kesalahan dan kesilapan yang dilakukan. Bagi mencapai objektif kajian ini, penyelidik menggunakan teori analisis kesilapan oleh Dulay, Burt dan Krashen (1982). Sampel kajian adalah terdiri daripada 50 orang pelajar UPSI yang mempelajari bahasa Sepanyol pada tahap satu iaitu tahap paling asas. Hasil kajian mendapati majoriti responden membuat kesalahan disebabkan struktur ayat bahasa Sepanyol yang berbeza dengan struktur ayat bahasa Melayu, pengaruh daripada bahasa ibunda pelajar tidak dapat dielakkan dan berlaku juga pengaruh daripada bahasa kedua iaitu bahasa Inggeris. Dengan itu, penyelidik mengemukakan beberapa pendekatan dan cadangan dalam usaha meningkatkan pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Sepanyol sebagai bahasa asing di Malaysia.

In addition, integrative and instrumental factors also influenced the attitudes of the students. The study showed that there were no comparison of views on learning foreign languages among female and male students, and races but there were significant differences based on gender and race in the aspect of attitudes, interest and students' perceptions towards the language learned. Female students were more positive with high interest and good perceptions towards learning foreign languages. In the aspect of race, Chinese students were more positive and integrative-oriented in learning Japanese language. This was due to many similarities between Japanese language and their mother tongue. Indian students were more positive in learning European languages such as Spanish and German due to the second language factor as the languages have similarities with English language. Malay students were positive towards all the three languages as they were influenced by the instrumental factor. They wanted to learn foreign languages for their future benefits. The findings also clearly proved that interest, motivation, perception, instrumental and integrative factors played important roles in the learning process and influence the students' attitude to learn Spanish, German and Japanese.
