5 general categories of factors that can be identified

1.       Linguistic- factors relating to the linguistic properties of the native and target languages
2.       Psycholinguistic- factors relating to the learner’s perceptions about the transferability of L1 features
3.       Contextual- factors relating to nature of the learners’ exposure to the target language.
4.       Developmental- how universal tendencies in L2 acquisition interact with L1 transfer.
5.       Individual- how individual differences in learners affect the probability of transfer occurring.

No theory of L2 use or acquisition can be complete without an account of L1 transfer. But there is no universal theory to apply.

Each learner has a different internal process they go through when it comes to learning a second language. ]]> 2017-10-20 22:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bspearma/qm6d3wifj4ew/wish/199221501 To Help Me as the Teacher bspearma https://padlet.com/bspearma/qm6d3wifj4ew/wish/199221743 Having the different theories to compare what a learner might be doing when L1 transfers into L2 to try new strategies to help my student and better understand their learning process as an individual. ]]> 2017-10-20 22:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bspearma/qm6d3wifj4ew/wish/199221743 https://padlet.com/bspearma/qm6d3wifj4ew/wish/216641744 Awesome!]]> 2017-12-15 22:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bspearma/qm6d3wifj4ew/wish/216641744
