- <p>This interview protocol was developed within an FWF-funded ESPRIT project investigating how Mittelschule (MS) learners in Austria engage with English, with their language repertoires, and with school over the course of one academic year. The broader project pursues five main aims:<br>- To examine how MS learners’ engagement in the English language classroom evolves during a task, across a lesson, and throughout an academic year.<br>- To identify the combination of factors that support or hinder learner engagement across these multiple timescales.<br>- To understand how learners engage with their full language repertoire, both within and beyond school, over one academic year.<br>- To explore learners’ engagement with school more broadly, and how it changes during the year.<br>- To investigate how engagement in English lessons, engagement with school, and engagement with diverse languages interconnect, with the goal of developing a comprehensive model of language learning engagement for MS students in Austria.</p> <p>The full study employed a mixed-methods design that combined in-class and post-class data collection procedures. Data were gathered from five naturally occurring English lessons, distributed across the academic year at roughly two-month intervals. Immediately after each lesson, all participating learners completed individual, semi-structured interviews, conducted by trained research assistants.</p> <p>The protocol is organized into six thematic sections, covering:<br>- Learners’ self-concept<br>- Engagement in the English lesson<br>- Engagement with their language repertoire<br>- Attitudes toward multilingualism<br>- Engagement with school<br>- Learners’ ecologies </p> <p>Within the section on Engagement in the English lesson, participants were asked to comment on selected moments of the lesson through stimulated recall based on lesson video excerpts. They also reflected on their Experience Sampling Method (ESM) chart, in which they rated their engagement every seven minutes during the lesson.</p>
