text: This article explores the interplay between learners’ linguistic and personal
objectives as well as evaluations of their achievements in study-abroad contexts,
an area that has thus far remained widely unexplored given the prevalence of product-oriented,
outcomes-based research. The study draws on the case of one Canadian student of
German who studied abroad at a German university for one year. To adopt an emic
perspective, the data gained from a learning history questionnaire, semi-structured
interviews, and e-journals were analyzed and interpreted within the framework
of narrative analysis. The results show not only that learners’ sojourn objectives
may be complex, dynamic, and contradictory in nature but also that they need to
be examined beyond their face value, as they are entangled with learners’ negotiations
of desirable subject positions and attempts to integrate their sojourn experiences,
successes, and frustrations in a coherent and positive life narrative.

text: There is ongoing discussion on the function of the early production of gestures
with regard to whether they reduce children's cognitive demands and free their
capacity to perform other tasks (e.g., Goldin-Meadow & Wagner, 2005) or whether
young children point in order to share their interest or to elicit information
from their caregivers (e.g., Begus & Southgate, 2012; Liszkowski, Carpenter, Henning,
Striano & Tomasello, 2004). The different assumptions lead to diverse predictions
regarding infants' gestural or multimodal behavior in recurring situations, in
which some objects are familiar and others are unfamiliar. To examine these different
predictions, we observed 14 children aged between 14 and 16 months biweekly in
a semi-experimental situation with a caregiver and explored how children's verbal
and gestural behaviors change as a function of their familiarization with objects.
We split the children into two groups based on their reported vocabulary size
at 21 months of age (larger vs. smaller vocabulary). We found that children with
a larger vocabulary at 21 months had an increase in their pointing with words
toward unfamiliar objects as well as in their total amount of words, whereas for
children with smaller vocabularies we did not find differences in relation to
their familiarization with objects. We discuss these findings in terms of a social-pragmatic
use of pointing gestures.
