Abstract This account puts forth a model to enhance understanding of import language acquisition (SLA) by integrating factors from acculturation search. An emerging approach to sojourner acculturation and intercultural interaction is presented, the Intercultural Interaction Model (Culhane, 2003; 2001a; 2001b) depicting interaction patterns among SLA sojourners. It is suggested to be an analogous approach for learner need in SLA that can advance understanding of learner demeanour within here and now language (L2) and Culture (C2) instructional and residential contexts. Discussion of research into motivation in SLA and acculturation attitudes is presented as an overview and background to a construct introduced in the paper, interaction motivation. A brief review of research efforts aimed at evaluating this construct is made, followed by consideration of how it may broaden conceptualization of the multifaceted fulfill of learning a second language.
