The First Language Transfer in Second Language Acquisition

Abstract

Abstract: Second language acquisition (SLA) research shows that first language (L1) transfer is one of the important factors that influence SLA. With the development of SLA,L1 transfer has experienced three periods,and is constrained by many factors. It systematically analyzes the language elements and non-language elements affecting L1 language transfer,which can help learners stimulate their positive transfer and avoid negative transfer in SLA to ensure the effective language learning.

Key words: second language acquisition, first language, transfer, constrained elements
