Abstract

Abstract Examining the learner agency expressed by two learners of Chinese as a second language (CSL), the current two-case study was conducted from the perspective of language socialization. Qualitative data have been collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis reveals that the two cases in the current study exhibited eight forms of learner agency in their CSL learning, including self-determination, self-motivation, self-regulation, participation, cooperation, negotiation, hesitancy and resistance. In addition, learner agency observed in the two cases is constantly mediated by multiple sociocultural factors in specific contexts of CSL socialization. The results of the current study imply the socioculturally mediated essence of learner agency and suggest that learner agency develops through a temporal course and is constrained by social structures.

语言社会化视角下对外汉语学习者课堂代理的两例研究

摘要从语言社会化的角度考察了两名第二语言学习者所表达的学习者能动性。通过课堂观察和半结构化访谈收集了定性数据。数据分析表明，本研究中的两个案例在CSL学习中表现出八种形式的学习者代理，包括自决、自我激励、自我调节、参与、合作、协商、犹豫和抵抗。此外，在CSL社会化的特定背景下，在这两个案例中观察到的学习者能动性不断受到多种社会文化因素的调节。本研究的结果暗示了学习者能动性的社会文化中介本质，并表明学习者能动力是通过一个时间过程发展起来的，并受到社会结构的约束。

期刊介绍： Chinese as a Second Language Research (CASLAR) focuses on research on the acquisition, development, and use of Chinese as a Second Language. It supports scholars and researchers from different linguistic fields, and serves as a forum to discuss, investigate, and better understand Chinese as a Second Language. Each issue (2 per year) of the journal publishes three papers in Chinese and three papers in English; summaries are always provided both in Chinese and English. We are especially interested in publishing articles and research papers that investigate how empirical findings of CSL research can advance and develop better Chinese language teaching methodologies, explore the implications of CSL research for theoretical developments and practical applications, focus on the acquisition and use of varieties of CSL, study the nature of interaction between native speakers and non-native speakers of Chinese, address major issues of second language acquisition from the perspective of CSL, analyze the ways in which language is both shaped by culture and is the medium through which culture is created.
