This study employs a mixed-method research approach to investigate the
effect of sociocultural adaptation on the development of pragmatic
production in a study abroad (SA) context. It focuses on the ability to
produce pragmatic routines, and whether sociocultural adaptation
experiences by learners of different cultural backgrounds predict
pragmatic gains. Seventy-eight college students participating in SA
programs in the US completed a pre-test and a post-test version of a
sociocultural adaptation scale (SCAS) and of a written discoursecompletion
task (DCT) that measured their ability to use prototypical
routines. Supplementary interviews to a subset of 2 students provided
further insights on the nature of their adaptation experiences. A
quantitative analysis revealed that sociocultural adaptation development
had a partial effect on pragmatic gains, due to the mediation of learners’
background culture, which had a direct influence on routine production.
The qualitative analysis revealed individual trajectories that illustrated
the interplay among sociocultural adaptation, background culture, and
gains in production of pragmatic routines. [-]
