The author asks what factors either prevent or promote the construction of TL-mediated socializing opportunities by international students, how such students can grow both as TL learners/speakers/users and as people throughout their TL-mediated socializing, and how international students’ socializing, and their affective states during socializing, change across time during their stay in the host country. He analyses international students’ TL-mediated socializing and its co-construction primarily within the conceptual frameworks of situated learning (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and affinity space (Gee, 2004), with additional insights from peripheral/marginal participation (Wenger, 1998), scaffolding (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976), identity (re-)construction (Norton, 2000), and Discourse (Gee, 2012). This book proposes concrete educational and pedagogical implications, based on the findings, which will be meaningful for both educational institutions and educators involved in study abroad programs or education. It will also be of interest to students and scholars in related academic fields including Applied Linguistics, Language Education, Sociolinguistics and Pragmatics. Yoshifumi Fukada is a professor in the Faculty of Business Administration at Toyo University, Tokyo, Japan. His research interests are the development of L2 learner and user dynamic identity when learning the English language in socializing (in and out of class), the use of English as a lingua franca (ELF) in international communities as well as situated TL learning and motivation in language learning. 0aApplied linguistics. 0aLanguage and languagesxStudy and teaching.14aApplied Linguistics.24aLanguage Teaching and Learning.24aLanguage Education.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303181043508iPrinted edition:z978303181045908iPrinted edition:z978303181046640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-81044-2
