Abstract
In this study we will discuss phonological errors and their causes on the basis of the language performance of Slovak students learning Engl ish as a foreign language. The errors are shown to be of different qua lity and distribution in the three language skills - perception, produ ction and perception/production, which has implications for second lan guage teaching methods. CA of Slovak and English phonemes is used in E A and a standpoint is taken on the two phenomena as well as on IL. Int erferential and non-interferential errors are characterized.
