Abstract

The objective of this study aims to explore the correlations of individual interest for second language learning, understanding of self and others in terms of intercultural competence, and informal digital language learning of college students majoring in language. A questionnaire was administered to more than 200 language major students (English, Spanish, and Portuguese) enrolled in a Chinese college, and the data collected were analyzed using Jamovi, SPSS and R. The findings demonstrate a positive association between interest in language learning and informal language learning in digital ways, and a positive relationship between informal digital language learning and intercultural competence. SEM result shows that informal digital language learning serve as a complete mediator between interest in language learning and intercultural competence.
