Description

Identity and Language Learning Extending the Conversation by Bonny Norton is a thought-provoking exploration of how identity shapes language learning. Drawing on a longitudinal case study, Norton develops new ideas about identity, investment, and imagined communities in the field of language learning and teaching. The book addresses key questions about the conditions under which language learners engage with language, the role of power relations in shaping identity, and how teachers can address the investments and identities of their students. Integrating research, theory, and classroom practice, this second edition includes a new introduction and afterword by Claire Kramsch. This book is an important resource for students, teachers, and researchers in language learning and teaching, TESOL, applied linguistics, and literacy. It is now available as an open-access title under a CC BY ND licence.
