Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Interactionist approach claims that if our language ability develops out of a desire to communicate, then language is dependent upon whom we want to communicate with. This means the environment you grow up in will heavily affect how well and how quickly you learn to talk.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluency and literacy in the native language can lead to a transfer of skills to the second language. Therefore, the more literate a student is in his/her first language, the easier it is for the student to transfer skills from the first language to the second language with the appropriate support and instruction.
