Annotation

Language exchange alludes to learning cooperation between two learners of distinct native languages who help each other better their skills in the other's language, by triggering learner agency. Metalinguistic and intercultural dialogue involvement is not a mechanic output of language-exchange interactions but an exhibition of learners' percipient attempts to engender language acuiqition chances.
