THE IMPACT OF FIRST LANGUAGE INTERFERENCE IN TESOL: ANALYZING HOW A LEARNER'S NATIVE LANGUAGE AFFECTS ENGLISH LEARNING AND WAYS TO ADDRESS IT
Keywords:
First Language Interference, L1 Transfer, Language Acquisition, Pronunciation Challenges, Syntax Errors, Vocabulary Transfer, TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages), Cross-Linguistic Influence, Language Fossilization, Error Correction Strategies.Abstract
First language interference (L1 interference) is a well-known phenomenon in second language acquisition, particularly in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). When learners apply elements from their first language to the learning of English, it can lead to various errors in pronunciation, grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. This article explores the different ways in which L1 interference manifests in TESOL contexts and offers practical strategies for teachers to mitigate its effects. By understanding how L1 influences English acquisition, teachers can develop more effective, individualized approaches to help students achieve fluency in English.
