Interlanguage (learner language)
The term was coined by Selinker in 1972 to describe the language production by learners as a second language. The interlanguage consists of two basic ideas: the language with a systematic system and with a dynamic system developing over time. Interlanguage studies focus on the learner system and are not limited to Error Analysis.
Language transfer (individual variability)
Language transfer takes place in their second language because of the influence of the native language or mother tongue. First language interferes with the second language learning and various errors are produced from the first language habit.
Fossilization
Fossilization is the phenomenon that the development of a second language seems to stop at some level.
