Abstract
This article explores the role of local communities and the shift of L2 learners’ “frame of reference” in students’ language learning and identity construction, both of which rarely receive sufficient attention in second language acquisition (SLA) research. Using interview data from studies of two language learners and sociocultural theories, the authors argue that local communities both help L2 learners to access to and develop their English but also hinder learners in constructing their social identities that in return affects language learning. Moreover, the shift of L2 learners’ frames of reference from native speakers to bilingual users influences students’ learning strategies and their view of themselves as second language learners. Thus, while researchers and educators focus on classroom activities, they need to pay equal attention to help learners access social practices and recognize the importance of L2 learners’ identity development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
