English as a Second Language: Negative Transfer

Background explanation The student at the case study center is Danna, a 6-year-old kindergarten at Panama Mills Elementary School. Dana is the greater of the two sisters. She was born in America, but her parents were born in El Salvador. She lives with her father, mother, and older sister. She attended Paragon Mills' kindergarten from 2012 to 2013 and entered the eighth month of kindergarten. In order to qualify as an official English learner at Davidson County School, each new student needs to take a test.

Conversion of mother tongue abilities into bilingual second language skills has been the focus of many studies, but little is known about the inverse relationship between the bilingual second language and its native language skills . Only a few studies examined the transfer of language skills from bilingual L2 to their L1, and these studies were largely restricted by their cultural concerns. The purpose of this research is to study the influence of two different second languages ​​on bilingual native language performance based on a bilingual cognitive model including bilingual bilingual interaction and cross languages ​​transfer literature concept. Specifically, we tested whether factors influencing second language acquisition are related to two bilingual vocabulary and reading comprehension. English - Spanish Bilingual and English - Chinese Bilingual

It is privilege to acquire Spanish as a second language. Learning English as a second language is essential, sometimes it may be traumatic. We often do not recognize major historical and political differences in access to Spanish and English and often make difficulties in becoming language learners attributable to generalization. For many teachers, the growth of bilingual identity is complex (shame, learn, learn, hide, jealousy), interaction with a family of one of whites who do not understand this situation is particularly painful.

The important difference between first language acquisition and second language acquisition is that the process of second language acquisition is influenced by the language already learned by the learner. This effect is called language transfer. Language transition is a complex phenomenon due to the previous linguistic knowledge of the learner, the interaction between the target language input they encounter and their cognitive process. Language transfer can occur not only from the learner's mother tongue but also from the second language or the third language. Also, language transfers may occur in grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, discourse, and reading, not limited to a specific language domain.
