ABSTRACT

There is negative transfer of first language (L1) in second language acquisition, which generally introduces language errors, hindering learners’ second language acquisition. Taking EFL learners’ English composition as an example, this thesis analyzes the language errors caused by the negative transfer of L1. This thesis is conducted as the following four stages: The first part is an analysis of the relationship between language and thinking patterns, drawing forth the concept of language transfer; the second part is the literature review on second language acquisition and language transfer; the third part is the statistical analysis of the collected 110 samples; and the fourth part is the practical and innovative suggestion. This thesis aims to assist English acquirers in understanding the negative transfer of L1 and provide effective and practical measures in the future English teaching.
