Second Language Transfer is a theoretical construct in applied linguistics that denotes the influence of a learner’s previously acquired languages on the acquisition or use of a target second language, distinguishing it from general language transfer by specifically involving the bidirectional or cumulative effects between the first, second, and additional languages in multilingual competence.
