Informed by usage-based theory, this mixed-methods study attempted to\u0000 determine the relationship between the amount of out-of-class English exposure in study abroad and the phrasal verb knowledge of\u0000 international adult students in the United Kingdom. It also brought foundation program students (i.e., students in a preparation\u0000 course for university degrees), a previously under-researched study-abroad population, under the spotlight. One hundred and\u0000 eighteen foundation program students at a British university completed a modified Language Contact Profile and a productive\u0000 phrasal verb test. Nine students were interviewed to further unravel how they acquired phrasal verbs via informal language\u0000 contact. Analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between speaking English with international friends and phrasal\u0000 verb knowledge. Hierarchical regression identified that overall English proficiency, spoken input contact, and non-interactive\u0000 language contact were significant predictors of phrasal verb scores. This study points to the importance of having meaningful,\u0000 emotionally enjoyable, and regular L2 contact to formulaic language competence during study abroad.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43009272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews and a\u0000 language-engagement questionnaire were carried out to determine which contextual factors most influenced students’\u0000 pragmalinguistic development during SA. Participants mainly used conventionally indirect hearer dominant request strategies\u0000 pre-sojourn. Whilst abroad, sojourners’ requests became more direct and mostly speaker dominant, whilst participants increasingly\u0000 favored external mitigation strategies and, to a lesser extent, use of the internal-mitigation strategy upgrader. Of the factors\u0000 hypothesized to be influential in their acquiring pragmalinguistic competence, participants’ awareness of differences in\u0000 linguistic politeness, followed by their sense of identity in the host community and degree of interaction with the host\u0000 community, influenced pre- to in-sojourn pragmalinguistic changes the most.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42058639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pre- and post-SA oral proficiency interviews were used for ACTFL-level assessments\u0000 and ratings of component skills (pronunciation, fluency, grammatical accuracy, vocabulary/content, interaction skills). Surveys\u0000 measured socio-affective variables and L2 engagement (using a modified Language Contact Profile). Thirty-six participants\u0000 increased in ACTFL level. Both L1 groups showed a significant increase in component skills and perceived competence. For L1\u0000 Chinese participants, pre-SA perceived competence significantly correlated with time spent in brief exchanges using Japanese. For\u0000 L1 English participants, gains in interaction scores remained significant after controlling for the significant increase in\u0000 positive communication affect. Thematic analysis of participants’ journals revealed the homestay environment was the nexus of\u0000 activities supporting communication skill development through exchanges of viewpoints and culture learning, frequently over\u0000 dinner. Homestays also contributed to developing greater L2 speaking confidence.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45738947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While pre-travel orientations assist students in program preparations, the efficacy of such training is unknown\u0000 and the path for improvement unclear without reflection or feedback. In this article, we report on the design and scoring of an\u0000 assessment tool focusing on student self-reflection. Over 200 students preparing for SA completed knowledge-based multiple-choice\u0000 questions, as well as cultural competency and reflection-based free-response questions. This learning-by-doing intervention survey\u0000 provided data on students’ understanding of host-country logistics, awareness of culture-specific practices, recognition of\u0000 cultural symbols, and program fit with students’ goals. Student learning outcomes (SLOs) of SA orientation were aggregated\u0000 primarily by gender, discipline, and SA requirements. Implementing a pre-departure assessment as an instructional tool stimulated\u0000 reflection and identified discipline- and gender-specific SLOs to assist in designing future orientations for an improved SA\u0000 experience.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42489366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One hundred and seventy international students enrolled in English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas\u0000 Students (ELICOS) in Sydney drew mind maps on “Activities to improve my English in Australia.” The mind maps were analyzed\u0000 thematically using NVivo 11 software and subsequent themes were developed. Findings showed individual differences in features of\u0000 language learning environments, learners’ perceptions of their affordances, and insight into the degree of learner agency as seen\u0000 from the visualization. This article closes by discussing the implications for using such visual materials in second language pedagogy in order\u0000 to understand student language learning beyond the classroom.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44004587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
