Description
Second Language Identities explores how identity is a crucial aspect in various second language learning contexts. Drawing on poststructuralist thought and the work of prominent authors such as Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman, Chris Weedon, Judith Butler and Stuart Hall, this book examines the role of identity in different settings. The author delves into recent research focusing on identity in three distinct areas: adult migration, foreign language classrooms, and study abroad programmes. By critically evaluating these contexts, the book sheds light on how identity is constructed, negotiated, and performed in second language learning environments. This insightful analysis provides a foundation for future research, offering valuable insights for scholars and practitioners alike.
