Abstract:

This book is developed from an ethnographic case study which investigated 
Chinese adolescents' construction of their gender identity and the way it is 
negotiated in the course of learning English as a foreign language (EFL) from 
a sociolinguistic, sociocultural and sociopsychological point of view. It 
documented the unseen connections between the micro-level of the students' 
face-to-face verbal interactions and the macro-level of the role of learning 
EFL that can play in students' construction and negotiation of their gender 
identity. The book aims to help both teachers and students to develop a more 
comprehensive view of English learning as a means to social and educational 
development. On the whole, the study showed that second language learning 
pedagogy which integrates CLT can be used as an important tool to open up 
opportunities for the improvement of gender awareness in cultures where 
gender and sex are not linguistically differentiated. It demonstrated that the 
EFL class can be used as a means of opening up a space where adolescents 
can become aware of gender and play around with this awareness. It can be 
educationally valuable with regard to making students and teachers think 
about a number of social and intercultural issues alongside cross-linguistic 
issues. The fieldwork of the research showed that interventions directed at 
attracting students' attention to gender roles and the way they behaved in 
interactions in English highlight an educational function of the place of EFL in 
the curriculum which is so far unrecognised in China.
