Abstract:

This book explores the role of identity in adolescent foreign language
learning to provide evidence that an identity-focused approach can make a
difference to achievement in education. It uses both in-depth exploratory
interviews with language learners and a cross-sectional survey to provide a
unique glimpse into the identity dynamics that learners need to manage in
their interaction with contradictory relational contexts (e.g. teacher vs.
classmates; parents vs. friends), and that appear to impair their perceived
competence and declared achievement in language learning. Furthermore, this
work presents a new model of identity which incorporates several educational
psychology theories (e.g. self-discrepancy, self-presentation, impression
management), developmental theories of adolescence and principles of foreign
language teaching and learning. This book gives rise to potentially
policy-changing insights and will be of importance to those interested in the
relationship between self, identity and language teaching and learning.
