Abstract	This study considers how participants in a small, beginning foreign language Spanish class use English and Spanish to talk about real events. Data are analyzed using an imagined communities framework, which conceives of foreign language classrooms as sites where learners converge to learn language in preparation for future real-world use. Monday discussions about students' weekends are submitted to microanalysis that considers how students use English and Spanish to recount real events in ways that construct their immediate social context, and/or prepare them for future language use. Building on an intuitive starting point that language choice relates to student investment in storytelling, discourse analysis reveals that language choice also relates to the specificity and predictability of stories, and to who takes conversational control of their telling.
