Description
Authenticity in second language contexts is a complex and multifaceted issue. This collection brings together scholars from various backgrounds to explore authenticity through different theoretical and methodological approaches. The volume focuses on three key questions: what constitutes authentic language, who is an authentic speaker, and how does authenticity emerge? The contributors examine authenticity in relation to patterns of language and meaning, agency, identity, and culture, shedding light on the nature of authenticity in language learning contexts. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the concept of authenticity in second language contexts.
