| Popis: | This multiple case study reports on how Marie and Yuan, both novice students of Italian, used the concept of the Typified Situation (TS) in target language interactions in a pre-departure classroom course and later during a study abroad trip to Florence, Italy. A TS is a pragmatically motivated interaction that reoccurs with a specific genre and register in a culture. Using concept-based language instruction (CBLI) to teach the TS, students were introduced to the semantic and lexico-grammatical patterns of what was happening (field), how participants interact (tenor), and through which means (mode), and the purposeful and sequential order in which these actions usually happen (genre) in the TS in Italian culture. A qualitative analysis of data from classroom instruction and study abroad revealed that the learners showed awareness of the TS concept in classroom tasks and study abroad interactions, recognized register variations, and interacted by making language choices depending on the context of the situation. |
