Abstract：

With the increasing frequency of exchanges between China and foreign countries, more and more foreign students come to China to learn Chinese. However, in the process of learning Chinese, international students generally suffer from interlanguage fossilization, which is a common and critical problem in second language acquisition and seriously affects the further development of language learning. The study found that the causes of this phenomenon mainly include emotional factors such as motivation, attitude, anxiety, individual differences and mother tongue transfer. In response to these problems, this paper proposes corresponding countermeasures, such as establishing a positive learning attitude, optimizing language input, reducing mother tongue interference, and giving play to the cognitive advantages of adult learners, in order to help international students in China break through the "bottleneck period" of language learning and improve the effectiveness of Chinese learning.
