This thesis contrasts the sound systems, negation, and expression of definiteness of English and Korean. It analyzes the substitutions Korean learners of English made on both the phonological and syntactic levels. It also predicts possible problem areas and describes the sources of potential problems.By means of a contrastive analysis, the researcher found out that the greatest source of Korean learners' sound substitutions, incorrect uses of the response words Yes/No, and 'the-omission' errors is interference stemming from differences in the linguistic systems of the native and target language.This thesis proves the validity and practicability of Contrastive Analysis as a useful tool for teaching students English as a second or foreign language.
