What is the difference between a mistake and an error?

Name this error: when the LL's native language influences the production of a target-language sound, which comes out incorrectly (example: Spanish-speaking ELL says eskool instead of school).

Name this error: A foreign accent may cause embarrassment if a mispronunciation results in obscene or vulgar language.

Name this error: when the LL uses a completely different yet familiar sound instead of the correct foreign sound (example: Chinese-speaking ELL say flied lice instead of fried rice).

Name this error: when two words are pushed together to make a grammatically correct shortened form (example: will not = won't).

Name this error: when the individual sounds of the word are slurred together (example: going to is pronounced gonna).

Developmental errors ...

Global errors...

Local errors...

When working with ELLs at the beginning and intermediate proficiency levels, it is more important to correct global errors than local errors.
