Conclusion

Much L2 learning is by its very nature dependent on interactions between members forming a communicative dyad or group. The current chapter furnishes a situated glimpse of the radically socially impacted nature of L2 study emotions through such interactions. Analysis of discursive data shone a light on the ways in which students’ (emotional) moves during the short conversation session were both afforded by and acted on those of the other through their social interactions as they co-adapted (Larsen-Freeman & Cameron, 2008) and, thus, co-formed the social context (Ushioda, 2011a, 2015). One way in which this process was evident was in the observation of emotional intersubjectivities (Denzin, 1984) developing and displayed across the course of the conversation. The analysis reinforces my argument throughout this book that if we are to do justice to researching L2 study emotions, we must investigate the ways they emerge within the social context of learning.

The following chapter focuses the small lens one turn further, adding depth through a look at the proximal historical context to the emergence of a significant emotional event.
