"Second language acquisition in a context of high intercomprehension : The case of Ukrainian refugees learning Polish"

\n\n

S ince the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022\ , 11.08 million refugees crossed the country’s border into Poland. We in vestigate peer learner networks of 249 participants in an intensive course of the Polish language dedicated to the newcomer population. The particip ants came mainly from eastern\, southern and northern Ukraine (the further east the origins\, the higher the proportion of declared use of Russian). Apart from the special situational context\, together with the close typo logical similarity between the languages spoken and being acquired\, the s tudents present a unique language constellation profile\, with almost all being functionally bilingual in Ukrainian and Russian\, but with different degrees of dominance in each language and complicated attitudes to the la tter. We apply the tools of computational social network analysis to find out whether and how patterns of out-of-class communication within the coho rt (and beyond\; notably with family members back in Ukraine\, accounting for roughly 30% of interaction time) interacted with the students’ lingu istic gains.

Interactional data reveal concealment of L1 Russian u se: 62% of users of Russian in the private sphere declared Ukrainian as th eir L1. A reconstruction of the student networks shows higher weighted deg ree centrality among students declaring Ukrainian as their L1\, while L1 R ussian speakers are at the network periphery\, suggesting linguistic segre gation with symptoms of marginalisation. The refugee students are most sat isfied with their communication in Polish with neighbours and volunteers\, less so in service encounters and the workplace\, and the least in the ad ministrative sphere. Polish language use was highest in text messages. The students self-rated their progress best in vocabulary and lowest in gramm ar. Reading in turn demonstrates a visible (though non-significant) trend of positively correlating with the length of stay in Poland and negatively with entry-level competence.
