本研究組合兩位英語教學博士生的個案研究，以呈現語言學習好手(good language learner)的學習經驗、學習過程、以及相關之影響因素。這兩位研究參與者應授課教授要求詳細記載學習日誌，並於學期末援引當代第二語言習得之重要理論分析個人日誌的資料，以期瞭解自己的學習歷程及影響因素。兩位研究者不約而同指出學習動機、學習策略、及社會認同等，在語言學習過程中扮演重要角色。
This study is aimed to shed light on the learning processes by presenting two advanced second language learners' case studies. To fulfill a course requirement, the participants kept learning journals to record their learning processes and to examine important factors that affected the processes. Their retrospections and interpretations reveal that such factors as motivation, learning strategy and social identity play critical roles in good language learners' learning processes.
