This longitudinal study examined how task engagement related to gains in L2 Japanese comprehensibility among nine UK-based university students participating in a semester-long, video-mediated eTandem exchange with Japanese partners. Using 17 engagement indicators, we first provided a descriptive overview of associations between engagement and development. The strongest association was observed for Japanese partners' use of <i>cultural questions</i>. Guided by these results, we then employed interactional sociolinguistics concepts to understand how cultural questions facilitated comprehensibility development. The discourse analysis revealed that cultural questions shifted interactional frames and footings (Goffman, 1974, 1981), prompting L2 learners to take extended turns and practice making their speech comprehensible. The findings highlight the value of qualitative perspectives in task engagement research, showing that L2 comprehensibility development emerges not only from learners' own engagement but also through their partners' interactive behaviors.</p>","PeriodicalId":47560,"journal":{"name":"Foreign Language Annals","volume":"59 2","pages":"520-542"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/flan.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148268876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research primarily examines the linguistic and cultural development of language learners in SA contexts.

This study uses language portraits and semi-structured interviews to explore nine Chinese university students' multilingual identity shifts by examining their SA experiences in Germany. Thematic analysis identified three dimensions of multilingual identity: cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. Changes in these three dimensions of multilingual identity interacted differently with language ideologies at different levels: macro (e.g., China's focus on German-language examinations, Germany's use of English as a lingua franca), institutional (e.g., communicative German instruction in Germany), and micro (e.g., a student community's prioritizing English or German).

This study was conducted in a context where most students were disinclined to study Swedish. Fifteen teachers teaching at various educational levels were interviewed and the data were analyzed using theory-driven content analysis. The findings suggest that these teachers of Swedish used encouragement largely in feedback processes. The teachers also supported autonomy by enhancing reflection and setting personal learning goals. Moreover, the teachers found it particularly important to establish a learning environment based on trust and rapport. In doing so, the teachers believed they were enhancing students' language learning and motivation.

The results showed that the typing group outperformed the handwriting group in character recognition and dictation, indicating that typing promotes orthography-sound mapping and input efficiency. In contrast, the handwriting group scored higher in meaning recognition, suggesting that handwriting strengthens orthography-meaning associations and supports deeper processing.
