This qualitative study explores the implementation of imagined communities-based curricular elements into two eighth grade German classes with the intention of fostering students' imagined community memberships and connections with other speakers of German. In developing curricular elements meant to help students better imagine themselves using the language in meaningful ways, with the possibility of someday using their language skills while in a German-speaking community, the goal was to better understand students' experiences over the course of an academic year. Imagined communities, communities of practice, and second language acquisition motivational theories were used to frame and understand students' experiences. In gathering and analyzing responses to the new curricular elements, it was found that the students and teacher experienced more in-depth, richer study. Additionally, it emerged that students' understandings of culture, connection, and community memberships had different meanings and requisites and as a result they experienced them in different ways and to varying degrees. Motivations were also explored and it was found that students had different motivations to study the language and those motivations led to different levels of investment and enjoyment in language learning. Overall, most students and the teacher had more positive experiences as a result of the added imagined communities-based curricular elements.
