Whilst the existing literature on multilingual learning in curriculum has properly addressed a variety of instructional factors, few studies have been dedicated to investigating influence institutionalisation as contextual, power-laden factor which turn influences learning. To fill this gap, qualitative study examines undergraduate students' conceptions and experiences institutionalised dual-foreign-languages programme English French Chinese university. The findings unveil how learning, mediated by specific curricular arrangements, imposed predetermined pathway towards achieving goals. In such curriculum, students experienced conceived rigidly devised project, they were pressurised conform fixed arrangements well their underlying ideologies, also agentically responded with initiative reflect negotiate. It is thus suggested that developers administrators should be cautious about imposing intentions over-simplify dynamics may impede instead promoting it.

Abstract Social network analysis (SNA) has recently drawn increasing scholarly attention in applied linguistics research response to the social turn field. In this review, we analyze and identify methodological characteristics topical concerns of articles addressing SNA Science Citation Index (SSCI) journals. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a total 60 published between 1980 2023. Our reveals that growing body is adopting qualitative mixed methods examine relationships networks language learning, teaching use. These findings confirm context constitutes an essential part ecosystem intertwined with various cognitive, social, psychological factors, which have synergistic impact on learning teaching. While these studies show afford learners valuable linguistic, emotional, resources, they reveal may also exert negative influences their behaviors some contexts. We conclude review recommendations future broaden scope investigations consider exploring how different types at meso- macro-levels influence language.

To end, ecological reframed theoretical basis study, prone explore how could be examined individual capacity, resources, structural contextual variables. study was conducted settings response gap related agency. Quantitative qualitative data questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations 116 teachers China demonstrated that enactment rested interplay between temporal contexts, beliefs, especially instructional community. findings revealed at different stages career manifested variability exercising their adapting or adopting existing concepts, methods, approaches.
