Detailed explanation-1: -These terms are frequently used in language teaching as a way to distinguish between a person’s first and second language. L1 is used to refer to the student’s first language, while L2 is used in the same way to refer to their second language or the language they are currently learning.
Detailed explanation-2: -An interlanguage is an idiolect which has been developed by a learner of a second language (L2) which preserves some features of their first language (L1) and can overgeneralize some L2 writing and speaking rules. These two characteristics give an interlanguage its unique linguistic organization.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first language does not require any conscious effort; the acquisition process of the first language is subconscious. The second language requires constant conscious effort so that the learners can internalize the structures of the second language.
Detailed explanation-4: -The effect of L1 on the L2 is usually called “transfer” and tracked through syntactic errors, structural changes, wrong choice of words, etc. Consequently, attempts to identify the L2 →L1 effect in a monolingual approach will also look for similar transfer phenomena (e.g. Cook 2003).
