本研究调查了社交网络的组成，寄宿家庭为学习者提供了一个密集的夏季阿拉伯语课程在双语言和多语言突尼斯，并研究了语言社会化的类型，以及整体的语言和跨文化能力，这样的机会。这项研究专门调查了学生与寄宿家庭成员互动的模式，并探讨了学生利用这一丰富学习环境的程度。73名学生在2010-2012年夏季结束时返回美国完成了一项调查。结果表明，虽然社会网络往往涉及大家庭成员，寄宿母亲仍然是互动的主要场所。数据还显示，寄宿家庭提供了影响学生的语言，社会语言和文化收益的经验的广度和深度，并且，毕业后，学生通过社交媒体保持与这个社交网络的联系。
This study investigated the composition of the social network that the homestay offers learners in an intensive summer Arabic language program in diglossic and multilingual Tunisia and examined the types of language socialization as well as the overall linguistic and intercultural competence such opportunities present. The study specifically investigated patterns of student interaction with members of the host families and explored the degree to which students took advantage of this rich learning environment. A survey was completed by 73 students upon their return to the United States at the end of the summers of 2010–2012. Results showed that, although the social network often involved extended family members, the host mother remained the primary locus of interaction. Data also showed that the homestay offered a breadth and depth of experiences that affected students' linguistic, sociolinguistic, and cultural gains and that, postprogram, students maintained their connection to this social network via social media.
