First Language Effects In Foreign Language Learning



Authors : Mahiddine-benchabane Nadia .

Abstract

This paper investigates the source of cross linguistic transfer in the learning of a second or third foreign language. . By linguistic transfer, we mean what the learners generalize in their knowledge about their first language (NL) to help them learn to use a target language (TL). Here transfer does not indicate whether what is carried over is bad or good. This meaning that transfer is a neutral word in origin and nature. One special aspect of the second or third language is the fact that the learner having already acquired one or two languages is not a novice language learner. The role of a foreign language in subsequent language acquisition, has engendered considerable investigation from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Here we first consider the notion of transfer and the issues surrounding it, before addressing the interaction between transfer and the developmental stages.
