Errors are classified according to: modality (i.e., level of proficiency in speaking, writing , reading , listening ) linguistic levels (i.e., pronunciation , grammar , vocabulary , style ) form (e.g., omission, insertion, substitution) type (systematic errors/errors in competence vs. occasional errors/errors in performance) cause (e.g., interference , interlanguage ) norm vs. system Methodology Error analysis in SLA was established in the 1960s by Stephen Pit Corder and colleagues.

As children learn the steps of writing, and as they build new skills upon old, writing evolves from the first simple sentences to elaborate stories and essays. Spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and organization come together and grow together to help the student demonstrate more advanced writing skills each year.
