| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated how students' L2 writing and language learning motivation changed through study abroad experience. The results of writing task show that their writing fluency markedly improved but different extents of improvement were observed among different learners in the other dimensions (e.g., syntactic and lexical complexity). The result of interview analysis suggests that learners with long-standing motivation tend to be armed with learner agency throughout their language learning career.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は近年大きな注目を集めている複雑系理論の視点から、留学期間中の学習者の動機づけの変化とその要因について、ナラティブアプローチの手法を用いて詳細に検証するこれまでにない試みである。留学経験が個々の学習者の動機づけにどのような影響を与えるのか、様々な学習者の事例を蓄積することで、今後留学前の学生指導プログラムや留学中および留学後のサポートなど、日本の教育機関における留学制度の充実に大きく貢献できる。
