A developmental error is made by learners when they are unconsciously working out and organizing language, and this process is not yet complete.
Fossilised errors are errors which a learner does not stop making and which last for a long time, even for ever, in his/her foreign language use.
Errors in which learners wrongly apply a rule for one item of the language to another item, are known as overgeneralization.
The learners’ own version of the second language which they speak as they learn is known as an interlanguage.
