交流意愿（WTC）可以被概念化为随着第二语言交流机会的出现而随时变化。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个idiodynamic方法来研究快速变化的世界贸易中心。该方法包括记录响应从六个年轻的成年人，女性发言者的第二语言的沟通任务，他们的自我评级的变化在世界贸易中心在这些任务中，并报告他们的经验和归因于波动的世界贸易中心。发言者的稳定的个人特征的作用被考虑在内，因为是由一个观察员在受访者的发言。将WTC概念化为一个动态系统，可以检查WTC随时间的变化。结果表明，即使在一个相对均匀的样本扬声器的一致性和变化的意愿。词汇搜索记忆被认为是影响交际意愿的一个关键过程，但也有人认为其他因素（包括语言焦虑）也会影响交际意愿。在总结了世界贸易中心可以被看作是一个动态系统的结论之后，讨论了该方法的局限性和未来的研究方向。
Willingness to communicate (WTC) can be conceptualized as changing from moment to moment, as opportunities for second-language communication arise. In this study we present an idiodynamic methodology for studying rapid changes in WTC. The methodology consists of recording responses from six young adult, female speakers to second-language communication tasks, their self-ratings of changes in WTC during those tasks, and reporting of their experience and attributions for fluctuations in WTC. The role of stable personal characteristics of the speakers is taken into account, as are observations made by an observer during the respondents' speech. Conceptualizing WTC as a dynamic system allows for an examination of the variation in WTC over time. The results show both consistency and variation in WTC even among a relatively homogeneous sample of speakers. Searching memory for vocabulary was identified as a key process affecting WTC, though it is argued that other factors (including language anxiety) are also operating to affect WTC. After concluding that WTC can be seen as a dynamic system, limitations of the methodology and future research directions are discussed.
