  2. Three views about the nature of language There are many possible theoretical positions about the nature of language. Here are three different views which explicitly or implicity are reflected in current approaches to language learning.

  3. In this module group • The structural view of language • The communicative view of language • The interactional view of language

  4. New Words • Overgeneralization: the oversuppliance of an interlanguage feature in contexts in which it does not occur in target-language use (e.g. ‘He ated ice-cream.’) Overgeneralization result in errors.

  5. U-shaped course of development: The pattern of learning evident when learners use a correct target-language form at one stage, replace it with an ungrammatical interlanguage form, and then finally return to use of the correct target-language form.

  6. Restricting: The process by which learners reorganize their interlanguage in the light of new evidence about the target language. It can occur as a result of a shift from item learning to system learning.

  7. Form-function mappings: The identification by the learner of a particular function which can be performed by means of a particular form. The ensuing ‘mapping’ may or may not correspond to target-language norms.

  8. Free variation: The random use of two or more variants of a structure.Fossilizatioln: the process responsible for the cessation of learning some way short of target-language competence. Most L2 learners’ interlanguages fossilize
