The researchers found that the two widely discussed forms of migration what the mother tongue and second language structure similar or identical, tend to produce positive transfer, and positive transfer to promote the second language learning. When the mother tongue and second language structure dissimilarity or not at the same time, it will produce negative transfer, namely the second language learning will be the mother tongue interference.
