Nhi Hoa Mai; Nam Nhat Lien; Nguyen Huynh Trang – SAGE Open, 2024

Research shows that sojourning L2 learners are often eager to speak with their native-speaker peers, but they may not realize how these interactions differ from their experiences in the L2 classroom. Using the Communication Accommodation Theory (Giles & Ogay, 2007) as a guiding principle, this mixed-method study aims to, at two different time…
