Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Selinker argues that interlanguage is resulted from the learner’s attempts to produce the target language construction. He mentions some learning process/strategies, EXCEPT ____

A	language transfer
B	fossilization
C	transfer of training
D	overgeneralization

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -“Interlanguage” was defined by Selinker (1972) as the separate linguistic system evidenced when adult second language learners spontaneously express meaning using a language they are in the process of learning.

Detailed explanation-2: -He identifies these as: language transfer, strategies of second language communication, transfer of training, strategies of second language learning, and finally over-generalisation of the TL linguistic material (Selinker, 1972).

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Selinker (1978), interlanguage fossilization falls into two categories, namely individual fossilization and group fossilization. The former is the persistence of individual learner’s IL development, while the latter is the plateau in the diachronic development of a community language.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interlanguage fossilization is when people learning a second language keep taking rules from their native language and incorrectly applying them to the second language they are learning. This results in a language system that different from both the person’s native language and second language.
