Unpacking the Selective Fossilization Hypothesis: Questions, Insights, and Possibilities

open access: yesWorking Papers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2015
A defining characteristic of second language learning, fossilization has been referred to as one the most enduring and fascinating problems confronting researchers of second language acquisition (SLA) (Han, 2004a).

Written Corrective Feedback as a Means to Validate the Selective Fossilization Hypothesis: Issues to Consider

open access: yesStudies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2009
Since Selinker (1972) coined the term fossilization to characterize the phenomenon in which second language (L2) learners cease to progress in the acquisition process, much effort (e.g., Bates & MacWhinney, 1981; Krashen, 1981, cited in Han & Odlin, 2006)

The Selective Fossilization Hypothesis and its Putative Implications for Second Language Teaching

open access: yesStudies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2009
Issues of learnability and teachability of linguistic features have long been a core interest in instructed second language acquisition (SLA) research. Following Lyster and Ranta (1998), a great deal of empirical work has approached second language (L2 ...

Attention, Awareness, and Noticing: The Role of Consciousness and the Selective Fossilization Hypothesis

open access: yesStudies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2009
Learning a second language (L2) is a complex and variable process. Unlike first language (L1) acquisition, second language acquisition (SLA) is often marked by an interlanguage (IL) consisting of fragmentary, incomplete knowledge to varying degrees in ...

First Language Influence and Fossilization in Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition [PDF]

open access: yesWorking Papers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2015
While a considerable amount of second language acquisition (SLA) research has focused on the acquisition process itself, another strand of research has specialized in investigating the fossilization of specific linguistic features. Han’s (2009) Selective

The Selective Fossilization Hypothesis: A Longitudinal Study of English Language Learners' Persistent Errors

open access: yes, 2020
Fossilization, the stagnation of second language (L2) learning despite propitious conditions, is an inescapable reality for virtually all L2 learners. The study presented in this dissertation has endeavored to contribute to our current understanding of fossilization by examining, both longitudinally and cross-sectionally, persistent errors in the ...

The Selective Fossilization Hypothesis, Focus on Form, and the Second Language Classroom: Future Possibilities

open access: yesWorking Papers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2015
The questions of how and when (if at all) to treat the potentially fossilizable linguistic features in the second language (L2) classroom have occupied second language researchers and practitioners since Selinker (1972) brought the concept of ...

The Selective Fossilization Hypothesis: A Revitalization of the Construct of Markedness in Second Language Acquisition

open access: yesWorking Papers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2015
With the Selective Fossilization Hypothesis (SFH), Han (2009) cites the synergy of first language (L1) markedness and second language (L2) input robustness as a determinant of selective fossilization and, in doing so, returns the construct of markedness ...
