Abstract

In the process of teaching and learning foreign languages, specialized teachers and researchers must consider all its facets in order to enhance learning effectiveness. For this reason, the present study examines Greek learners’perception and awareness of errors in SFL (Spanish as a foreign language) at the B2 level, aspects that are not often explored. The participants are university students aspiring to be selected for the ERASMUS+ exchange program in Spain. The objectives of this study are to examine whether Greek learners of SFL perceive errors positively or negatively, whether they are aware of committing errors, and in which grammatical areas they produce frequent errors. Data were collected through a series of questionnaires administered to the participants. The research approach is quantitative. The results of the study demonstrate that the majority of Greek learners of SFL have a positive perception of errors during the learning of SFL and are aware of their own error production.
