“…In the days of Contrastive Analysis (CA) the aim was to avoid error-making by identifying the differences between the learner's mother tongue and the target language, predicting and describing patterns that were likely to cause difficulty, and eliminating these through drilling. Researchers conducted these contrastive analyses comparing different languages, which, according to Fries (1945), was an indispensable requirement for the creation of language teaching materials. The reasoning behind the theory was simple: when learning a second language a person will tend to transfer mother tongue structures in second language production (Lado 1957), and where L1 structures differ from the L2, mistakes will be made.…”

“…Il primo a cui possiamo associare tale intento è Fries (1945) al quale si lega Lado (1957) quando afferma che tutti gli apprendenti di una LS abbiano una naturale tendenza a trasferire le loro conoscenze linguistiche della L1 alla lingua in fieri. Questo processo agisce sia a livello di significante sia di significato e può creare due tipi di influenza sull'apprendimento, quella che facilita e quella che intralcia l'apprendimento.…”
