LANGUAGE INTERFERENCE AMONG MULTILINGUAL STUDENTS

• Malika Kazakova

  Author

This article explores language interference as a complex phenomenon in multilingual students, encompassing cognitive, linguistic, pedagogical, sociocultural, and technological dimensions. It analyzes the mechanisms behind cross-linguistic influence, its role in identity construction and language learning, and its relevance for educational policy, curriculum design, and NLP technologies. The study highlights the importance of recognizing interference not merely as error, but as an indicator of multilingual language processing and adaptability.
