Interlanguage Dynamics: Unraveling the Natural Development Process

Abstract

Interlanguage refers to the knowledge structure that forms during a particular stage of acquiring a second language. In the realm of second language learning, research on interlanguage holds great significance. This research aims to explore the existing literature on Interlanguage Dynamics. They are: 1) Identifying the factors that shape the development of interlanguage, 2) Analyzing the role cognitive processes and social interaction in the formation of development of interlanguage and 3) Understanding the implications of interlanguage dynamics for language teaching and learning. This study is a library research study, The data from books and articles published in scholarly journal. After the sources were collected, the writer wrote or took a note of all findings from the selected sources. This research found that interlanguage dynamics are influenced by both universal cognitive processes and individual differences. Social interactions and environmental factors also play a significant role in language acquisition. This research emphasizes the adaptability and flexibility of interlanguage, which is the constantly evolving language system of L2 learners. Instead of abruptly transitioning from one stage to another, the learner gradually modifies their interim system. Furthermore, the interaction between interlanguage and the native language has significant implications for language learning and teaching. This emphasizes the need for approaches that are specific to the context. The existing literature on Interlanguage Dynamics provides more information about the process of interlanguage development. This research shows that interlanguage is a dynamic and adaptive system that is influenced by both cognitive processes and external factors.
