Students use knowledge of L1 and apply those rules to L2 and is positive.

• A. Language Transfer
• B. Interlanguage
• C. Fossilization
• D. Code-Switching

Answer: (A)

When learners bring rules from their first language to the second and use them in a way that helps produce correct L2 forms, that’s language transfer in its positive form. This happens when L1 patterns align with L2, making certain structures easier to use correctly because they share similarities. The statement captures that idea by describing learners applying L1 knowledge to L2 to benefit learning and use.

Interlanguage refers to the learner’s evolving, intermediate system between L1 and L2, not specifically about importing L1 rules to aid accuracy. Fossilization is when incorrect forms become fixed despite continued practice. Code-switching involves switching between languages within a conversation, which is about discourse choice rather than a systematic transfer of rules to produce accurate L2 forms.
