[{"publication":"The Canadian Modern Language Review","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","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."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["individual differences","learner beliefs","narrative analysis","sojourn objectives and evaluations","study abroad"],"issue":"1","year":"2017","date_created":"2021-12-07T10:18:50Z","title":"“As a person, I feel I’ve changed pretty immensely”: Sojourners’ aspirations and self-perceived achievements","type":"journal_article","status":"public","user_id":"71540","department":[{"_id":"468"}],"_id":"28348","extern":"1","article_type":"original","publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0008-4506","1710-1131"]},"citation":{"mla":"Müller, Mareike. “‘As a Person, I Feel I’ve Changed Pretty Immensely’: Sojourners’ Aspirations and Self-Perceived Achievements.” <i>The Canadian Modern Language Review</i>, vol. 73, no. 1, 2017, pp. 24–47, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3138/cmlr.3319\">10.3138/cmlr.3319</a>.","bibtex":"@article{Müller_2017, title={“As a person, I feel I’ve changed pretty immensely”: Sojourners’ aspirations and self-perceived achievements}, volume={73}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3138/cmlr.3319\">10.3138/cmlr.3319</a>}, number={1}, journal={The Canadian Modern Language Review}, author={Müller, Mareike}, year={2017}, pages={24–47} }","short":"M.

While previous research focused mainly on quantitative measurements of pronunciation gains with mixed results, this study takes a more learner-centered approach and examines the impact of socio-psychological factors on learning foreign pronunciation, which appears to be a highly individual and at times conflict-prone process with which sojourners are confronted. The study draws on the cases of five Canadian students who studied abroad at German universities for one or two semesters. The data collection involved a learning history questionnaire; semi-structured interviews pre-, mid-, and post-sojourn; and bi-weekly e-journals. The data was analyzed and interpreted within the framework of narrative analysis. The results show how sojourners’ beliefs about the importance of pronunciation, community participation, identity-related challenges, and obstacles to pronunciation learning influence and help explain individually different learning behaviors and results.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"first_name":"Mareike","last_name":"Müller","id":"71540","full_name":"Müller, Mareike"}],"date_created":"2021-12-07T12:50:39Z","volume":2,"date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:58:02Z","doi":"10.1075/jslp.2.1.05mul","title":"Listening to learners’ voices: Qualitative aspects of pronunciation learning during study abroad","issue":"1","publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2215-1931","2215-194X"]},"citation":{"chicago":"Müller, Mareike. “Listening to Learners’ Voices: Qualitative Aspects of Pronunciation Learning during Study Abroad.” <i>Journal of Second Language Pronunciation</i> 2, no. 1 (2016): 108–42. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1075/jslp.2.1.05mul\">https://doi.org/10.1075/jslp.2.1.05mul</a>.","ieee":"M.
