So far, WTC has not been studied multilingual contexts, using individual-level designs. This case study explores intraindividual variability propensities adult Swedish for whom English provide viable options community interaction. Carried out over period where skills began develop, purpose was explore process characteristics changes communication-initiation propensities. A person-context dynamics perspective employed, analyses time-serial data were combined with concurrently generated interview data.
