Abstract	The errors of 187 bilingual students, aged 10 years, 11 months to 19 years, 8 months were analyzed as they studied English as a third language. Errors were categorized with two major learning strategies in mind: transfer and overgeneralization. Types of errors were related to degree of bilingualism, English proficiency level and age of the learners. It was found that mother-tongue interference errors are quantitatively affected by the degree of bilingualism, and by the level of proficiency in the target language. Error types did not vary qualitatively for the studied subjects. Centain interlanguage structures emerged which suggest the possibility of common patterns of L2 structure acquisition among foreign language learners. (Author)
