Abstract

Interlanguage fossilization, an important terminology proposed by Selinker in 1972, is an intriguing phenomenon that scholars in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) have made great efforts to explore. It has impacts on four aspects of learning English as a second language (ESL), namely phonetics, vocabulary, syntax and discourse. This paper focuses primarily on lexical fossilization and its causes, which are examined using a comparison of native speakers and second language learners (SLLs). Finally, the author also provides some probable solutions that teachers can apply to their instruction. Through a well-built learning environment, proper teaching methods and learners’ positive attitudes, ESL learners can definitely succeed in enhancing their efficiency of vocabulary acquisition and broadening their boundaries of learning, instead of being confined to interlanguage fossilization.
