hey luchon01 well interlanguage n' fossilization r not the same...interlanguage is when an L2 learner makes mistakes while speaking that seem to have no form in their language or the language he's learning like a spanish saying:she name is maria"..while fossilization is when the learner keeps making those mistakes and seem to stop progressing we say that their interlanguage is to have "fossilized"...hope i answered your question :)

Fossilization is a process that might occure within the interlanguage.

Thanks. This presentation is designed as a very basic intro for intermediate language students, not linguists, so the content is very simplified.
