WHAT IS
INTERLANGUAGE?

“Interlanguage” was defined by Selinker (1972)
as the separate linguistic system evidenced Syntax
when adult second language learners
spontaneously express meaning using a

LANGUAGE TRANSFER
The learner transfers rules from the L1 to the L2.

According to the Contrastive Analysis


Hypothesis, errors probably arise where
there are great differences between the
learner’s mother tongue or any previously
acquired language and the language he or
she is trying to acquire. (Zhang, M. n.d.) (

Yo soy 7 años.
OVERGENERALIZATION
Make mistakes applying grammar rules incorrectly. Native
speakers never would use it.

Overgeneralization is the phenomenon when one


overextends one rule to cover instances to which that rule
does not apply. This phenomenon may appear in different
aspects such as semantic, syntactic, morphological, or
behavioral. It is a systematic way that children create and
unconsciously use, and here appears the greater
opposition to the idea of imitation. (Al-Baldawi, W. N., &
Saidat, A. M. 2011, August)

simplification resulting from incomplete knowledge


of the target language is not the same as purposeful
simplification since, as Corder (1981) points out,
learners do not have the complex system which they
SIMPLIFICATION could simplify (Mahmoud, A. 2014).
INTERLANGUAGE
FOSSILIZATION

Selinker (1972) used the term fossilization to


refer to the tendency of many learners to stop
developing their interlanguage grammar in the
direction of the target language.
APPLICATIONS
TO TEACHING
Errors are accepted as
inevitable.

"errors in pluralization and


tense usage (that is,
morphological simplifications)
and the omission of function
words such as articles,
prepositions and auxiliaries, are
less important to the
comprehensibility of a
sentence than errors in word The hierarchy developed by
order or the choice and Burt and Kiparsky serves as a
position of appropriate guide emphasis on rule
connectors. acquisition rather than on habit
formation is an essential part of
the "Cognitive code"
Record a conversation or use written material
IDEAS TO PUT in which the students are concentrating more
on the message than on the form.
INTO
Free compositions can provide a corpus for
PRACTICE analysis of written forms.

Once the data have been collected the


information must be compiled. By using a
frequency count try to discover: the
structures that produce the greatest number
of errors; the specific errors which occur most
frequently; the structures that are used
correctly most frequently.
