Heritage speaker identities have traditionally been a relevant topic of inquiry among scholars of heritage language pedagogy. 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.
传统上,遗产语者身份一直是遗产语言教育学学者研究的一个相关话题。然而,在国外的研究背景下,很少有关于西班牙传统语言身份的研究。此外,关于这一主题的大多数现有研究都集中在墨西哥学习的墨西哥裔讲遗产者身上(例如,de Félix&Cavazos-Peña,1992年;McLaughlin,2001年;Riegelhaupt和Carrasco,2000年)。本研究通过探索三位墨西哥裔讲遗产者在阿根廷门多萨学习的经历,考察了非遗产背景下的遗产语言身份。通过关注非遗产背景,我们摆脱了所有讲遗产的人都试图通过语言研究(重新)声称特定种族身份的假设(见Leeman,2015)。相反,我们的定性分析表明,在非遗产背景下,遗产发言人在语言意识、品种之间的协商和对其能力的感知方面,以不同的方式构建、竞争和协商他们的身份。

This study investigates the impact that a semester-long study abroad program has on the L2 reading and vocabulary development of a group of Catalan/Spanish bilinguals learning English as an L2 (n = 30). Another objective is to determine whether gains in participants’ vocabulary and reading – if any – are related to their initial L2 proficiency and L2 vocabulary level. 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.

Fluctuations in mental well-being during Study Abroad 留学期间心理健康的波动
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-09-22 DOI: 10.1075/sar.21002.dew
Jean–Marc Dewaele, Livia Dewaele
This mixed-methods study focuses on the effect of Study Abroad (SA) on the mental well-being of 33 Anglophone students who spent between four and twelve months in Francophone countries. It investigates the relationship between well-being and personality traits. Statistical analyses revealed no significant change in well-being between the start, the middle and the end of the SA. 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. The apparent stability of well-being during SA seems to be the result of upward and downward patterns cancelling each other out.
这项混合方法研究的重点是留学(SA)对33名在法语国家度过4至12个月的英语学生心理健康的影响。它调查了幸福感与人格特征之间的关系。统计分析显示,在SA开始、中间和结束时,幸福感没有显著变化。仔细观察个体模式,发现波动很大,一半参与者在SA开始和中间得分较高,另一半参与者得分较低。幸福感得分增加最多的三名参与者的叙述与幸福感得分减少最多的三位参与者没有太大区别,只有(较低的)情绪稳定性与幸福感的增加有关。在群体层面,幸福感与人格特征没有显著联系。SA期间幸福感的明显稳定似乎是向上和向下模式相互抵消的结果。

Writing development during study abroad 留学期间的写作发展
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-03-15 DOI: 10.1075/sar.19015.str
Carola Strobl, Kristof Baten
Previous research on the benefits of study abroad (SA) has mainly focused on oral communication skills and L2 English, while written communication and other foreign languages have received far less attention. This study addresses this gap by investigating writing development in L2 German. It also aims to further the discussion about methods to assess writing development by combining different types of data. The writing gains of 30 Belgian students in L2 German were investigated after one semester abroad. Pre- and post-SA writing samples were analysed using linguistic and task-related assessment criteria. The results are triangulated with data about self-perceived language gains, on the one hand, and self-reported language contact and social networks during SA, on the other. The results indicate a correlation between self-report writing gains, language contact, and social networks.
以往关于留学益处的研究主要集中在口语交际技能和二语英语方面,而书面交际和其他外语方面的研究则很少受到关注。本研究通过调查二语德语的写作发展来解决这一差距。它还旨在进一步讨论通过结合不同类型的数据来评估写作发展的方法。对30名比利时留学生在国外一个学期后的二语德语写作成绩进行了调查。使用语言和任务相关评估标准对SA前和SA后的写作样本进行分析。一方面,研究结果与自我感知的语言增益数据以及SA期间自我报告的语言接触和社交网络数据进行了三角测量。研究结果表明,自我报告写作成绩、语言接触和社交网络之间存在相关性。

The influence of a study abroad program on Japanese university students’ motivation and the elaboration of motivational L2 selves 留学项目对日本大学生动机的影响及动机二语自我的阐述
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-10-07 DOI: 10.1075/sar.19006.mat
M. Matsumoto
Three university students from Japan on a five-week study-abroad program in Australia participated in a case study that investigated the impact of L2 learning experiences on changes in their motivation, especially in relation to development of their ‘Motivational L2 Selves’ as introduced by Dörnyei (2009). The study collected both qualitative and quantitative data in three interviews and weekly learning logs during the program. The results from the learning logs showed an upward trend in the level of motivational intensity as the program proceeded, with the participants’ positive perception of environmental factors. The study confirmed that learner perception of the same motivational factor could vary, and perception can be affected by their prior learning experience and L1 culture. The study, however, failed to provide positive evidence that the study abroad program can help the elaboration of the L2 Self, although the learning experiences in the L2 context enhanced their instrumental motivation.
三名来自日本的大学生在澳大利亚参加了为期五周的留学项目,他们参与了一项案例研究,该研究调查了二语学习经历对他们动机变化的影响,特别是与Dörnyei(2009)介绍的“动机二语选择”的发展有关。该研究收集了三次访谈和项目期间每周学习日志中的定性和定量数据。学习日志的结果显示,随着项目的进行,动机强度水平呈上升趋势,参与者对环境因素有积极的感知。研究证实,学习者对同一动机因素的感知可能会有所不同,感知可能会受到他们之前的学习经历和L1文化的影响。然而,尽管在二语环境中的学习经历增强了他们的工具动机,但该研究未能提供积极的证据证明出国留学计划有助于二语自我的发展。

The digital dilemma 数字困境
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-07-24 DOI: 10.1075/SAR.18003.SEI
Aroline E. Seibert Hanson, Melisa Dracos
The study abroad (SA) experience now involves increased learner access via technology to the home (in the L1) and to the host culture (in the L2). L1 technology use could detract from host culture integration and language learning by allowing SA participants to remain immersed in the L1, while L2 technology use could aid in host culture integration by connecting participants to L2 speakers. Given this, it is urgent to determine the nature of the impact of L1 and L2 technology use abroad on motivation, language gains, and host culture integration. In the present study, we analyzed daily technology logs, learner motivation and L2 gains, and guided reflections on host culture engagement and L2 learning goals by eleven US university students studying abroad in Argentina. Motivation and L2 abilities increased significantly, and were positively correlated. Also, L1 and L2 digital contact showed important qualitative relationships with motivation and host culture integration.
现在,留学(SA)体验涉及通过技术增加学习者进入国内(在L1中)和东道国文化(在L2中)的机会。一级语言技术的使用可能会让SA参与者沉浸在一级语言中,从而有损于宿主文化的融合和语言学习,而二级语言技术可以通过将参与者与二级语言使用者联系起来,帮助宿主文化的整合。鉴于此,迫切需要确定国外使用一级和二级技术对动机、语言收益和宿主文化融合的影响的性质。在本研究中,我们分析了11名在阿根廷留学的美国大学生的日常技术日志、学习动机和二语习得,并引导他们反思东道国文化参与度和二语学习目标。动机和第二语言能力显著提高,且呈正相关。此外,一级和二级数字接触与动机和宿主文化融合呈现出重要的质的关系。

Women students from Saudi Arabia in a study abroad programme 参加海外学习项目的沙特阿拉伯女学生
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-07-24 DOI: 10.1075/SAR.16009.ALF
Hassna M. Alfayez, Julia Hüttner
Most students taking part in Study Abroad (SA) programmes aim to immerse themselves as fully as possible in the target language (TL) country and so improve their TL proficiency, as well as their own personal development towards independent adulthood. From a research perspective, the quality of social networks involving TL speakers, and hence the social interactions the SA students engage in, are seen as of paramount importance in determining the ultimate success in TL attainment. This paper addresses a cohort of learners who have not received a lot of attention in the SA literature, namely Saudi Arabian female students, whose individual immersion into the TL context is limited by cultural restrictions, importantly the need to be accompanied by a male guardian (mahram). Based on a data set of a cohort of nine students gathered over the period of one year, this study aims to establish the extent to which these students engage in social interactions in the TL setting and how these affect their overall language proficiency development. Data was gathered pre-, during, and post-SA, using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative instruments. These tested language proficiencies and surveyed the social interactions and engagement with the TL of the students, using both questionnaires (Language Engagement Questionnaire, Social Networking Questionnaire) and semi-structured interviews. Findings suggest, firstly, that despite the limitations on social interactions, these students clearly benefit from SA. Findings show a complex set of relationships between language development and interactions, with diverse strategies employed to access social networks and thus engage in interactions. Overall, these results point to SA settings as highly conducive learning environments, even for students who face cultural restrictions in their interactions.
大多数参加海外留学(SA)项目的学生的目标是尽可能充分地沉浸在目标语言(TL)国家,从而提高他们的TL熟练程度,以及他们自己的个人发展,以独立成人。从研究的角度来看,涉及到语用者的社会网络的质量,以及语用学生参与的社会互动,被认为是决定语用最终成功的最重要因素。本文针对的是一群在外语文献中没有受到太多关注的学习者,即沙特阿拉伯的女学生,她们的个人沉浸在外语语境中受到文化限制,重要的是需要有男性监护人(mahram)陪同。基于一年中收集的9名学生的数据集,本研究旨在确定这些学生在外语环境中参与社会互动的程度,以及这些互动如何影响他们的整体语言能力发展。使用定性和定量仪器混合收集sa前,sa中和sa后的数据。研究采用问卷调查(语言参与问卷、社交网络问卷)和半结构化访谈两种方式,测试了学生的语言能力,并调查了学生与外语的社会互动和参与情况。研究结果表明,首先,尽管社会互动受到限制,但这些学生显然受益于SA。研究结果表明,语言发展与互动之间存在复杂的关系,人们使用不同的策略来访问社交网络,从而参与互动。总的来说,这些结果表明SA设置是非常有益的学习环境,即使对于在互动中面临文化限制的学生也是如此。

The present study describes the development and initial empirical testing of a new instrument of intercultural competence. By employing this scale, Turkish Erasmus students’ intercultural sensitivity was examined at a pre-departure stage. The study also investigated whether gender, participation in pre-departure orientation activities and university type (private vs. state) had any influence on the students’ intercultural readiness. Student participants (N = 89) from two state and two private universities in Turkey were involved in the investigation. The data were analyzed using a standard set of psychometric procedures including factor and reliability analyses. For the comparative analyses, T-tests and Anova tests were conducted. Results indicated this new scale to be a reasonable approximation of students’ intercultural readiness for academic mobility. Finally, the participants were found to be quite ready for their Erasmus experience from an intercultural communicative perspective.
本研究描述了一种新的跨文化能力工具的发展和初步实证测试。通过使用这个量表,土耳其伊拉斯谟学生的跨文化敏感性在出发前阶段进行了检查。该研究还调查了性别、离校前定向活动的参与和大学类型(私立与公立)是否对学生的跨文化准备有任何影响。来自土耳其两所州立大学和两所私立大学的学生参与者(N = 89)参与了调查。数据分析使用一套标准的心理测量程序,包括因素和信度分析。比较分析采用t检验和方差分析。结果表明,这一新量表是学生对学术流动的跨文化准备程度的合理近似。最后,从跨文化交际的角度来看,参与者已经为伊拉斯谟的体验做好了准备。

Student participants\u0000 (N = 89) from two state and two private universities in\u0000 Turkey were involved in the investigation. The data were analyzed using a\u0000 standard set of psychometric procedures including factor and reliability\u0000 analyses. For the comparative analyses, T-tests and Anova tests were conducted.\u0000 Results indicated this new scale to be a reasonable approximation of students’\u0000 intercultural readiness for academic mobility. Finally, the participants were\u0000 found to be quite ready for their Erasmus experience from an intercultural\u0000 communicative perspective.","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":"44283850","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}

This study investigated the social networks developed by language learners during 14 weeks of an intensive English as a second language (ESL) program using the Study Abroad Social Interaction Questionnaire (Dewey, Bown, Baker, Martinsen, Gold, & Eggett, 2014; Dewey, Bown, & Eggett, 2012). It also utilized native speaker judgments to evaluate ESL fluency development. Results showed that participants were successful in developing complex social networks, that their oral fluency increased significantly, and that fluency gains were related to L2 social networks. Density (average number of people in a social group) was the most important predictor of fluency gain when only social network variables were considered. In a hierarchical regression, initial proficiency level and percentage of native English speakers in one’s network were the most significant of the established variables in the first step, and overall network size and density were the most important of the added social network variables in the second step.
本研究使用留学社会互动问卷(Dewey,Bown,Baker,Martinsen,Gold,&Eggett,2014;杜威、鲍恩和埃格特,2012年)调查了语言学习者在英语第二语言强化课程(ESL)14周期间发展的社交网络。它还利用母语人士的判断来评估ESL流利度的发展。结果表明,参与者成功地发展了复杂的社交网络,他们的口语流利度显著提高,流利度的提高与二语社交网络有关。当只考虑社交网络变量时,密度(社交群体中的平均人数)是流利度提高的最重要预测因素。在分层回归中,第一步中,母语为英语的人的初始熟练程度和百分比是建立的变量中最重要的,第二步中,总体网络规模和密度是增加的社交网络变量中最主要的。
