Match the following concepts with their descriptions:
Interlanguage = A system used in the L2 acquisition process that contains aspects of the L1 and L2 Fossilization = A process where an interlanguage develops and becomes a more effective means of L2 communication L1 = The native language of a learner L2 = The language being learned by a learner
Match the following terms with their explanations:
Interlanguage = A fixed repertoire of L2 expressions that do not match the target language Fossilization = The process of an interlanguage becoming a more effective means of L2 communication L1 influence = The impact of the native language on the language being learned Foreign accent = The result of the fossilization of L2 pronunciation
Match the following concepts with their characteristics:
Interlanguage = An inherently variable system with rules of its own Fossilization = A desired outcome of L2 learning L2 production = The process of using the target language to communicate Language acquisition = The process of learning a new language
Match the following terms with their characteristics:
Interlanguage = Designed to fossilize Fossilization = A natural outcome of L2 learning L2 learning = The process of acquiring a new language Communication = The goal of L2 learning
Match the following concepts with their relationships:
Interlanguage = A combination of L1 and L2 features Fossilization = A result of the interlanguage system L1 and L2 = Two separate language systems Language learning = A process that involves the interlanguage system
Match the following terms with their outcomes:
Interlanguage = Effective L2 communication Fossilization = A foreign accent L2 learning = Acquisition of the target language Communication = Successful expression of ideas
Match the following concepts with their characteristics:
Interlanguage = A stable system Fossilization = An unwanted outcome of L2 learning L2 production = The use of the target language for communication Language acquisition = A lifelong process
