An examination of how identity is an issue in different second language learning contexts
First book to coherently synthesise the importance of identity in Second Language Acquisition
- Analyses SLA in a variety of contexts: the foreign language classroom, the community, the second language classroom and the internet
- Argues how issues of identity can be used to help second language students learn more effectively
This book begins with a detailed presentation of what has become a popular approach to identity in the social sciences (including applied linguistics) today, one that is inspired in poststructuralist thought and is associated with the work of authors such as Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman, Chris Weedon, Judith Butler and Stuart Hall. It then examines how in early SLA research focussing on affective variables, identity was an issue, lurking in the wings but not coming to the surface. Moving to the present, the book then examines in detail and critiques recent research focussing on identity in three distinct second language learning contexts. These contexts are: (1) adult migration, (2) foreign language classrooms and (3) study abroad programmes. The book concludes with suggestions for future research focussing on identity in second language learning.
