Identity and Second Language Learning
Culture, Inquiry, and Dialogic Activity in Educational Contexts
A volume in the series: Contemporary Language Education. Series Editor: Terry Osborn, South Florida, Sarasota-Manatee
Published 2006
This collection of research has attempted to capture the essence and promise embodied in the concept of “identity” and built a bridge to the realm of second language studies. However, the reader will notice that we did not build just one link. This volume brings to light the diversity of research in identity and second language studies that are grounded the notions of community, instructors and students, language immersion and study abroad, pop culture and music, religion, code switching, and media. The chapters reflect the efforts of contributors from Canada, Japan, Norway, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States who performed their research in the countries just mentioned and in other regions around the world. Because of this, this volume truly offers an international perspective.
