摘要：This paper puts forth a model to enhance understanding of second language acquisition (SLA) by integrating factors from acculturation research. An emergent approach to sojourner acculturation and intercultural inter-action is presented, the Intercultural Interaction Model (Culhane, 2003; 2001a; 2001b) depicting interaction patterns among SLA sojourners. It is suggested to be an analogous approach for learner motivation in SLA that can advance understanding of learner behaviour within second language (L2) and Culture (C2) instructional and residential contexts. Discussion of research into motivation in SLA and acculturation attitudes is presented as an overview and background to a construct introduced in the paper, interaction motivation. A brief review of research efforts aimed at evaluating this construct is made, followed by consideration of how it may broaden conceptualization of the multifaceted process of learning a second language.
