Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the primary factors influencing language exchange activities and the correlates of a satisfactory meeting. By surveying 64 English learners who posted a profile on language exchange websites, the researchers have discovered that language exchange partners switch languages randomly, rarely follow a lesson plan and hardly ever correct pronunciation and grammar mistakes. Additionally, the results suggest a close relationship between topics discussed with language exchange partners and satisfaction with the partners.
