Nevertheless, there is little research on Spanish heritage language identities in a study abroad context. Additionally, most existing studies on this topic focus on heritage speakers of Mexican descent studying in Mexico (e.g., de Félix & Cavazos Peña, 1992; McLaughlin, 2001; Riegelhaupt & Carrasco, 2000). This study examines heritage language identities in a non-heritage context by exploring the experiences of three heritage speakers of Mexican descent studying in Mendoza, Argentina. By focusing on a non-heritage context, we move away from the presumption that all heritage speakers seek to (re)claim a specific ethnic identity through language study (see Leeman, 2015). Instead, our qualitative analysis illustrates the diverse ways heritage speakers in a non-heritage context construct, contest, and negotiate their identities with respect to linguistic awareness, negotiation between varieties, and perceptions of their abilities.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48871348","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}

Participants were administered (1) a reading text, (2) the Updated Vocabulary Levels Test, (3) a written essay, (4) a placement test and (5) an online questionnaire before and after their SA experiences. The results suggest that the sojourn was positive for participants’ reading comprehension, receptive vocabulary and lexical accuracy, but not for reading fluency, lexical fluency, lexical density and lexical sophistication. It was also found that the students’ initial L2 vocabulary and proficiency level were related to gains in receptive vocabulary and reading comprehension.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48368538","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}

A closer look at individual patterns showed large fluctuations, with half of participants scoring higher and the other half scoring lower between the start and the middle of the SA. The narratives of three participants whose well-being scores increased most were not very different from the three participants whose well-being scores decreased most, and only (lower) Emotional Stability was linked with the increase in well-being. At the group level, well-being was not significantly linked to personality traits.

In the present study, we analyzed daily technology logs,\u0000 learner motivation and L2 gains, and guided reflections on host culture\u0000 engagement and L2 learning goals by eleven US university students studying\u0000 abroad in Argentina.

Alfayez, Julia Hüttner","doi":"10.1075/SAR.16009.ALF","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/SAR.16009.ALF","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Most students taking part in Study Abroad (SA) programmes aim to\u0000 immerse themselves as fully as possible in the target language (TL) country and\u0000 so improve their TL proficiency, as well as their own personal development\u0000 towards independent adulthood. From a research perspective, the quality of\u0000 social networks involving TL speakers, and hence the social interactions the SA\u0000 students engage in, are seen as of paramount importance in determining the\u0000 ultimate success in TL attainment. This paper addresses a cohort of learners who\u0000 have not received a lot of attention in the SA literature, namely Saudi Arabian\u0000 female students, whose individual immersion into the TL context is limited by\u0000 cultural restrictions, importantly the need to be accompanied by a male guardian\u0000 (mahram). Based on a data set of a cohort of nine students\u0000 gathered over the period of one year, this study aims to establish the extent to\u0000 which these students engage in social interactions in the TL setting and how\u0000 these affect their overall language proficiency development. Data was gathered\u0000 pre-, during, and post-SA, using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative\u0000 instruments. These tested language proficiencies and surveyed the social\u0000 interactions and engagement with the TL of the students, using both\u0000 questionnaires (Language Engagement Questionnaire, Social Networking\u0000 Questionnaire) and semi-structured interviews. Findings suggest, firstly, that\u0000 despite the limitations on social interactions, these students clearly benefit\u0000 from SA. Findings show a complex set of relationships between language\u0000 development and interactions, with diverse strategies employed to access social\u0000 networks and thus engage in interactions. Overall, these results point to SA\u0000 settings as highly conducive learning environments, even for students who face\u0000 cultural restrictions in their interactions.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46995895","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}
