In L2 acquisition, willingness to communicate (WTC) is language learners looking for chances to communicate in the target language. The learners actually do communicate in the L2. "The ultimate goal of the learning process should be to engender in language education students" the willingness to communicate (MacIntyre, Clément, Dörnyei & Noels:1998).
Language programs that do not instill this are therefore failed programs.
