Abstract:

This book explores discourses of foreign language education in Ireland through
an ethnographic lens. Taking a critical approach to SLA, it locates students’
language ideologies within wider discourses of language learning, such as
discourses of gender and language learning and discourses of elite
multilingualism. It also examines the role of the imagined identity in
language learning investment in a world where English and a limited number of
other ‘global’ languages dominate the foreign language learning experience.
The ethnographic approach provides a unique insight into the way in which
dominant discourses of identity, gender, and foreign language learning are
both constructed and resisted in the institutional context, shaping our
understanding of what it means to be a gendered being and what it means to be
a language learner in a globalised world. This book will be of interest to
postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of SLA and
sociolinguistics, as well as language teachers and language policymakers.
