Of late, the Interlanguage Hypothesis (IH) has been primarily studied in relation to adult learners of second languages (SLA). This study explores the possibility of extending IH to children through a detailed case study of a prepubescent learner. Building on research pioneered by Selinker (1972) and Corder (1967), the study examines key psycholinguistic processes, including native language transfer, overgeneralization, and simplification. The subject of the study was a nine-year-old Russian-speaking girl learning English. Data were collected during two assessments, which served as both a pre-test and post-test following lessons that incorporated Total Physical Response (TPR) and the Natural Approach. After one month, results indicated a notable increase in correct grammatical constructions, although some persistent difficulties related to language transfer and fossilization markers remained. These findings confirm that interlanguage phenomena occur in children just as they do in adults. However, the incomplete and persistent nature of certain errors suggests that interlanguage development in children is more complex than in adults, as it is influenced by their unique cultural context and the limited exposure to the target language outside the classroom. Such observations underscore the need for further research on the application of IH in childhood while also emphasizing the importance of developing more effective early language teaching methods.
