Study spans the length of the exchange program

Study Oral production and their social integration.

Type of data required

2024-10-23 22:03:42 UTC

Interaction

2024-10-23 22:08:52 UTC

Inra and Intercommunication, S/S, S/T, can be one on one/ group , interaction with affordances

Specific Mechanisms of Change

2024-10-23 22:09:03 UTC

o Interlanguage Development

o Social Learning

Dynamic processes

2024-10-23 22:09:44 UTC

plurilingual engagement over the span of a semester and how this engagement fluctuates becoming stable or unstable
adaptations and flexibility towards acquisition
plurilingual engagement - indivitual to learner and from one learner to another (looking at scope of time)

Systemic Networks

2024-10-23 22:10:09 UTC

Host institution is linked to the home institution to make study abroad possible (online classes, report progress to home institution).

Integration of students from different destinations.

Living in host family.

Emergent outcomes

2024-10-23 22:15:45 UTC

change in learning outcomes (improvement/enhancement)
social aspects of learning (community, building interactions, participation and collaboration)
language learning patterns of engagement - across time we can observe the emerging patterns of engagement (growth/stable/dips)

Patterns of Stability

2024-10-23 22:17:06 UTC

o Language Use Patterns: Emergent patterns of language use may stabilize around certain contexts

o Cultural Exchange: A stable pattern of cultural exchange may emerge

Parameter : Oder and Control

2024-10-23 22:18:37 UTC

Order: time, system constraint, number of classes, class duration, feedback session, assessment policy, multi/pluri lingualism , resource accessibility

Control: teaching material and activities, teacher development, learning pattern , practice time

Variability Around Patterns of Stability

2024-10-23 22:19:18 UTC

Individual Differences: Variability in how students utilize their plurilingual abilities based on personal backgrounds, motivations, and prior experiences in language learning.

Contextual Influences: Differences in the social and academic contexts
