Abstract: | Twenty-six beginning L2 learners provided structured reflections over the course of a first-semester collegiate German class. The present analysis investigates connections made by these students between their learning of German and their experiences beyond the course. Drawing on the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages (WRSLL) to inform the nature of connection-making reported in the students’ journals, the study shows that learners described personally meaningful connections that align well to the Communities and Connections goal areas—components of the WRSLL that have received relatively little attention in research and professional dialogues. Additionally, students showed a deepened understanding of themselves in relationship to the course content. The article concludes with a discussion concerning the role of reflection in supporting Standards-based pedagogies. |
