虽然英语在地球仪的大学中扮演着重要的角色，但出国留学研究很少考虑非英语国家的英语学习。本文介绍了一个叙述性的案例研究的经验，日本交换学生在泰国的主要目的是出国留学，以提高他的英语。基于个人实践网络的概念，定性分析将侧重于参与者不断发展的社交网络和报告的通信实践，通过现有的主题位置和不同程度的投资进行调解。特别是，调查结果揭示了他的投资在母语英语和使用英语作为一种通用弗兰卡，这决定性地影响了学生的（非）参与某些社会团体和做法的现实之间的不和谐。该研究为全球化和语言学习提供了新的视角，为海外留学文献提供了独特的贡献，并为进一步的研究和教育提供了途径。
While English plays a prominent role in universities across the globe, study abroad research has rarely considered English learning in non-Anglophone countries. This article presents a narrative case study of the experience of a Japanese exchange student in Thailand whose primary purpose for study abroad was to improve his English. Grounded in the notion of Individual Networks of Practice , the qualitative analysis will focus on the participant’s evolving social networks and reported communication practices as mediated through available subject positions and varying degrees of investment. Particularly, findings reveal the dissonance between his investment in native speaker English and the reality of using English as a lingua franca, which decidedly influenced the student’s (non-)participation in certain social groups and practices. Casting fresh light on globalization and language learning, the study offers a unique contribution to the study abroad literature and suggests avenues for further research and education.
