Description
This book offers a new approach to understanding language learning and identity. Julie Choi presents autoethnography as a method for reimagining one's sense of linguistic and cultural identity, exploring the connections between language, culture, and self.
Through its multi-modal narratives, the book examines themes such as authenticity, illegitimacy, power relations, perceptions of self/other, cultural discourses and practices, and related issues in multilingual identity development. Choi also discusses the process of knowledge production, approaches to writing narratives, and the complexities of research writing practices.
By interrogating everyday life events and interactions, this book sheds light on the political and ethical implications of our utterances, thoughts, actions, and stories. It is a valuable resource for researchers and students in Applied Linguistics and Language Education, offering insights into the inseparable nature of language learning and identity formation.
