“…A focus on the multi-sited narrating contexts proves particularly illuminating because it helps us understand the meaning-making processes of individuals, characters, and events as they move across the trajectory of various scales of time and space (Kasper & Prior, 2015). Following Georgakopoulou's (2015) analytical framework, levels one and two receive greater attention in the analysis sections, and level three is addressed in more detail in the discussion section. The data have been translated into English from Nepali.…”

“…Examples 1, 2, and 3 deserve further comments on the identities of the story tellers, which is important for level three of narrative analysis (Georgakopoulou, 2015). As I have shown elsewhere (e.g., Sharma, 2018), trekking guides working in the Himalayas are mostly from historically marginalized ethnic communities.…”

“…Unlike grand narratives or canonical stories, small stories capture the fleeting and less structured moments in a person's language life, documenting activities of the real and hypothetical past, present, and future (Georgakopoulou, 2007). I find Georgakopoulou's (2015) three interrelated levels of analyzing small stories-ways of telling, sites, and tellers-useful for my purpose.

“…These encounters turned into a romantic relationship that lasted for several months. As we pay attention to the ways the story is narrated (Georgakopoulou, 2015), we can make a number of observations that address Nema's membership in an imagined community (Darvin & Norton, 2015).

This article investigates the language learning desire of multilingual tourism workers. The data were drawn from two sites in Nepal: an English for occupational purposes class and workplace interactions during treks. The article shows that the male tourism workers use their claims of heterosexual relationships with foreign female tourists as resources to build and boast their masculine identity and homosociality among their peers. The workers' ability to communicate in tourist languages functions not only as a transactional tool, but also as a resource to enhance their language learning desire and investment in order to imagine, establish, and sustain heterosexual romantic relationships. Their relationships of intimacy combine with the opportunity for economic benefits and spatial mobility made largely possible by their ability to communicate in English and other international languages. The research contributes to our understanding of the connection between language learning, multilingualism, and desire in the context of intercultural contact.
