Japanese Students’ English and Chinese Translanguaging in Taiwan
Most studies on motivation and translanguaging have focused on learning L2 English due to its role as a dominant international language of power. In this presentation, we report on two intrinsic case studies (Stake, 1995) of Japanese majors of English who studied in Taiwan for 11 months. Following a survey of their translanguaging practices in Japanese, English, and Chinese, we interviewed them to explore the motivations underlying their language choices.

Every year, I enjoy the Macquarie Roundtable where researchers on the programme gather to discuss their research informally (Sunday at 2:45pm). This year, I have the pleasure to present with Tomoko Yashima about English majors' use of English and Chinese during their SA in Taiwan (Saturday at 6pm). This is based on our book chapter (pre-print freely available): DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.14442.03521 Also, I talk informally with Jonathan Shachter on the Lost in Citations podcast about this book chapter.
