Interlanguage and Latent Structures.

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

• Language transfer, this process occur in our IL performance. It is refers to speakers or writers applying knowledge from their native language to a second language, can occur in any situation when someone does not have a native-level command of a language.
• Transfer of training, when language teaching creates interlanguage rules that are not of the L2 and which result in the way the learners were taught.
• Strategies of second language learning, e.g. simplification
• Strategies of second language communication, when learner omits grammatically redundant items in an utterance, producing ill-formed sentences.

• Overgeneralization of TL linguistic material, where the learner tries to use TL rules and semantic features in the way there would not be used by a native speaker. 

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

Language transfer and Transfer of training 

     3.  Which aspects have you fossilized?.

•  Pronunciation: because sometimes is unconscious to pronounce words with sounds of my first language
• Grammatical: the common mistakes that someone make when use a mixture of first language rules with the foreign language

True of 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 cannot be reversible.
