Second Language Learning: An Examination of Two Hypotheses

Frith, May B.

International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 13, 4, 327-332, Nov 75

This approach is compared with the strong version of the contrastive analysis hypothesis. Strengths and weaknesses of the interlanguage hypothesis are examined. (Author/RM)
