Description
Silence in Second Language Learning: A Psychoanalytic Reading by Colette A. Granger explores the complex phenomenon of silence in language learning, moving beyond the view of it as mere absence of speech to consider it as a psychical event and linguistic moment in identity formation. Through a unique triangulation of SLA research, memoirs, and language learner diaries, this book examines anxiety, ambivalence, conflict, and loss in the process of second language acquisition. By shedding light on these often-troubling issues, Granger offers a nuanced understanding of the psychological dynamics at play in language learning. This thought-provoking analysis is essential reading for anyone interested in the complexities of language learning and identity formation.
