INTERLANGUAGE

Workshop 5

1. - Explain the five central processes with your own words.

·                      Language transfer: This process occur in our IL performance and it is modified by our NL, the fossilizable items, rules and subsystems

·                      Transfer of training: They are the result of identifiable items in training procedures

·                     Strategies of second language learning: If they are the result of an identifiable approach by the learner to the material to be learned.

·                      Strategies of second language communication: They are the result of identifiable approach of the learner to communication with native speakers of TL.

·                      Overgeneralization of TL linguistics material: They are a result of a clear overgeneralization of TL rules and semantic features.

2.- Which of these processes can be apply to you in terms of your L2 acquisition?.

The two process that can be apply in our L2 acquisition are Language transfer and Transfer of training.

3.-Which aspects have you fossilized?.

Grammatical aspects (rules, false cognates).

True or false (justify the false)

a)     __F__ Unsuccessful second language learning refers to the generalization problem.

The generalization problem is found not only in second language but first language too.

b)     __F__Storage refers to the process of recalling information that is stored in memory. 

 Retrieval In psychology, retrieval refers to the process of recalling information that is stored in memory, and storage refers to the process of storing information in the brain, those are mental processes.

c)      __T__Some conditions that affect in the process of learning a new language are anxiety, shifting attention and second language performance. 

d)     __T__Fossilization can not be reversible.
