过去的研究主要集中在第二语言习得作为促进跨文化交际的工具。例如，社会背景模型强调接触、第二语言自信和身份在获得第二语言中的重要性。然而，交流意愿模式是从对第二语言使用功能的关注中产生的。本研究将这两个模型结合起来，同时考虑语境和个体差异变量在第二语言使用中的作用。参加者是130名英语（多数）和248名法语（少数）学生参加加拿大双语大学。路径分析支持一个模型，在该模型中，上下文，个人和社会因素都是L2使用的重要决定因素，尽管关系模式不同，这取决于该群体的民族语言活力。主观规范的重要性被进一步证实为主持人之间的关系L2的信心和身份之间的法语国家。结果进行了讨论的背景下，目前的模式组间通信。
Past research has focused primarily on second langauge (L2) acquisition as a tool for promoting intercultural communication. The social context model, for example, stresses the importance of contact, L2 confidence, and identity in acquiring a L2. The willingness to communicate (WTC) model, however emerged from a concern with the functions of L2 use. This study combines these two models to consider both contextual and individual difference variables in L2 use. Participants were 130 Anglophone (majority) and 248 Francophone (minority) students attending a Canadian bilingual university. Path analyses supported a model in which context, individual, and social factors were all important determinants of L2 use, although patterns of relations differed depending on the ethnolinguistic vitality of the group. The importance of subjective norms was further confirmed as moderators of the relationship between L2 confidence and identity among Francophones. Results are discussed within the context of current models of intergroup communication.
