Abstract:

The volume explores how new millennium globalization mediates language 
learning and identity construction. It seeks to theorize how global flows are 
creating new identity options for language learners, and to consider the 
implications for language learning, teaching and use. To frame the chapters 
theoretically, the volume asserts that new identities are developing because 
of the increasingly interconnected set of global scapes which impact 
language learners' lives. Part 1 focuses on language learners in 
(trans)national contexts, exploring their identity formation when they shuttle 
between cultures and when they create new communities of fellow 
transnationals. 

Part 2 examines how learners come to develop intercultural selves as a 
consequence of experiencing global contact zones when they sojourn to new 
contexts for study and work. Part 3 investigates how learners construct new 
identities in the mediascapes of popular culture and cyberspace, where they 
not only consume, but also produce new, globalized identities. Through case 
studies, narrative analysis, and ethnography, the volume examines identity 
construction among learners of English, French, Japanese, and Swahili in 
Canada, England, France, Hong Kong, Tanzania, and the United States.
