LINGUISTIC PRINCIPLES

LINGUISTIC PRINCIPLES

1. THE NATIVE LANGUAGE EFFECT

   • THE NATIVE LANGUAGE EFFECT HAPPENS WHEN A SPEAKER OR A L2 LEARNER TRIES TO SPEAK THE SECOND LANGUAGE AS THE MOTHER TONGUE, MOST OF THE MISTAKES OCCUR BECAUSE OF LEARNERS THINK THAT L2 OPERATES LIKE L1
     • SOME CLASSROOM SUGGESTIONS ARE
       • 1. Take advantage of errors by giving the students feedback. Errors of native language interference may be repaired by acquainting the learner with the native language cause of the error.
         • 2. You must help your students to understand that not everything about their mother tongue will be a mistake
           • 3- Thinking directly in the target language usually helps to minimize interference errors. Help the students to think about second language instead of translation.

2. INTERLANGUAGE

   • It is a linguistic system used by second language learners. Learners create this language when they attempt to communicate in the target language. Interlanguage is affected by the learner's native language as they use their native language knowledge to understand and organize the second language
     • INTERLANGUAGE FORMATION
       • What affects the formation of interlanguage has been a topic of controversy and debate for decades. Currently, there five agreed-upon factors that are believed to shape how learners' create interlanguage: overgeneralization, learning strategies, language transfer, transfer of training, and communication strategies.
         • INTERLANGUAGE CHARACTERISTICS
           • Interlanguage is dynamic and permeable. It serves as a bridge between L1 and L2 when learners lack knowledge and fine mastery of rules, but over time, learners progress. They refine certain rules and obtain new ones.

3. COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE

   • It consists of a combination regarding 4 main components
     • ORGANIZATIONAL COMPETENCE
     • PRAGMATIC COMPETENCE
     • STRATEGIC COMPETENCE
     • PSYCHOMOTOR SKILL
     • "COMMUNICATIVE GOALS ARE BEST ACHIEVED BY GIVING DUE ATTENTION TO LANGUAGE USE"
