ACTIVITIES

1. - Short essay questions.

a. - Explain the five central processes with your own words.

- Language transfer: This process occurs in our IL performance and it is modified by our NL, the fossilizable items, rules and subsystems.

- Transfer of training: Are the result of identifiable items in training procedures.

- Strategies of second language learning: If they are the result of an identifiable approach by the learner to the material to be learned.

- Strategies of second language communication: They are the result of identifiable approach of the learner to communication with a native speaker of TL.

- Overgeneralization of TL linguistic material: They are a result of a clear overgeneralization of TL rules and semantic features.

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

The process that can be applied in my L2 acquisition is Overgeneralization of TL linguistic material, for the changes of rules and semantics features.

c. - Which aspects have you fossilized?

In my case, I had fossilized the language transfer aspect, because, the rules and subsystems in our Native language are stronger than Second language.

2. - True or false 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->a)      <!--[endif]-->__T__ Unsuccessful second language learning refers to the generalization problem.
