Based on this assumption, the study adopted a\u0000 pretest/posttest design to explore how quantity of out-of-class target-language\u0000 (TL) contact predicted the development of MWE knowledge among 41 Swedish\u0000 students during a semester in France. MWE knowledge was assessed by a modified\u0000 cloze test based on transcriptions of informal language use (www.clapi.fr) and TL contact\u0000 information was obtained through the Language Engagement Questionnaire (McManus, Mitchell, & Tracy-Ventura,\u0000 2014). Contrary to expectations, the findings showed that quantity of\u0000 out-of-class TL contact did not predict gains in MWE knowledge and add further\u0000 counterevidence for the role of sheer quantity of TL contact for linguistic\u0000 development in SA.","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":"43466083","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}

The current study consists of four case studies of US heritage speakers of Spanish studying abroad in Spanish-speaking countries different from their ancestors. Previous research on heritage speakers abroad has not addressed linguistic development. The current study attempts to fill this gap by using a variety of tasks to elicit the use of regional features to compare these heritage learners to second language learners and also first language learners who develop second dialects as a result of living abroad. The findings reveal changes in the production of regional features throughout the semester by three of the four learners of Spanish. These changes are attributed to shifts in identity coupled with proficiency level and contact with locals.","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":"44168070","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}

Grounded in the notion of\u0000Individual Networks of Practice (Zappa-Hollman & Duff, 2015), the qualitative\u0000analysis will focus on the participant’s evolving social networks and reported communication practices as mediated through\u0000available subject positions and varying degrees of investment. Particularly, findings reveal the dissonance between his investment\u0000in native speaker English and the reality of using English as a lingua franca, which decidedly influenced the student’s\u0000(non-)participation in certain social groups and practices.

Using membership categorization analysis (MCA) (Housley & Fitzgerald, 2015), it examines how peers used category-based rationales to claim or resist responsibilities related to the SA students’ language development. Findings point to the relevance of two local identity categories: friends and exchange students. Exchange students were constructed as responsible for ‘asking for help’ while peers constructed their own role as ‘helping when asked’. Peers also treated correction as an ‘unfriendly’ practice. In addition to providing insight into peers’ understandings of their roles in students’ learning, the analyses demonstrate how interview questions can shape the participants responses in meaningful ways.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47610751","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}

We recruit Wertsch’s\u0000(1998) notion of mediated action to show how stories, as cultural tools, were employed by the hosts and students to\u0000construct moral injunctions and to cultivate closeness through mutual caring (guānxīn), affective gratification\u0000(qièyì), and attentiveness (tiēxīn).

Drawing from two different but complementary frameworks, we analyzed blogs from 51 sojourners in short-term\u0000 SA volunteer teaching placements to examine the reflection that occurred through their writing. The two frameworks revealed\u0000 different aspects of blogging practices: types of reflection (Maarof, 2007) were primarily descriptive, but intercultural\u0000 communicative competence learning (Elola & Oskoz, 2008) examples were more numerous\u0000 and varied, documenting sojourners’ navigation of culture in SA. Sojourners did not typically use their blogs for dialogic or\u0000 critical reflection, instead chronicling experiences or representing reflection as completed actions. Although blogging can be\u0000 useful for reflection in SA, the results from this study suggest that careful scaffolding may be necessary to encourage critical\u0000 reflection.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59084095","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}
