Second Language YULE

Interlanguage:    When students integrate some rules of L1 and L2 and they produce their speaking this is interlanguage.

Fossilization: when students have mistakes but these cannot change it is Fossilization.   Fossilization Fossilization refers to the process in which incorrect language becomes a habit and cannot easily be corrected. Example Many advanced level learners who have Spanish as an L1 do not distinguish between ‘he' and ‘she'. This could be a fossilized error. In the classroom Errors in general take time to correct but a fossilized error may never be corrected unless the learner sees a reason to do so, e.g. if it is seriously hindering communication. Teachers can help learners notice their fossilized errors by for example recording them speaking, or by asking them to keep a record of written errors as part of a language portfolio. http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/knowledge-wiki/fossilization

There are important appropriated conditions for to learn a L2 For Example:  Motivation                                             An successful experience can be able to learn more
Input       The term input is used to describe the language  that the learner is exposed to: it has to be comprehensible it has to be simpler in structure and vocabulary	Output The opportunity to produce comprehensible output in meaningful interaction seems to be a crucial factor in the learner`s development of L2 abilities.
Task-Based Learning: provide overwhelming evidence of more and better L2 use by learners.

Communicative Competence Communicative competence can be defined, in term of three components as the ability to use the L2 accurately, appropriately and flexibly.
Grammatical competence	Sociolinguistic Competence	Strategic  competence
Involves the accurate use of words and structures in the L2.	Involves the ability to interpret or produce language appropriately.	This is the ability to organize a message affectively and to compensate, via strategies, for any difficulties.
