The Study of English Negative Transfer to French Language Learning with French Majors

摘要

English language(EL) and French language(FL) are very similar in their language attributes-lexicon,syntax and tenses.During FL acquisition,especially during the early acquisition stages,FL learners are strongly influenced by their EL forms.The essential point of this paper is to distinguish the differences and similarities of the EL and FL,then to suggest some strategies to restrain the negative transfer effectively,which would be helpful in third language acquisition.
