Abstract:

This book contributes to our growing understanding of the nature and 
development of language learner self-concept. It assesses the relevant 
literature in the disciplines of psychology and applied linguistics and 
describes in-depth, qualitative research examining the self-concepts of 
tertiary-level EFL learners. Although researchers in applied linguistics and 
SLA have recognized the importance of self-constructs, there remains little 
empirical work in the context of foreign language learning that focuses 
exclusively and at length on this central psychological construct. The content 
of this monograph draws on interdisciplinary sources, with input from 
psychology and applied linguistics. It will appeal to students and researchers 
interested in language-learner psychology as well as self-related constructs in 
general. The text provides insights into how learners view themselves, and 
how these self-beliefs can develop and affect the progress of an individual's 
language learning.
