Includes bibliographical references and index. Language, culture and identity: framing the issues / David Nunan & Julie Choi -- Coat hangers, cowboys, and communication strategies: seeking an identity as a proficient foreign language learner / Kathleen M. Bailey -- Speaking Romance-esque / David Block -- Collaborating on community, sharing experience, troubling the symbolic / Michael Brennan. "This state-of-the-art exploration of language, culture, and identity is orchestrated through prominent scholars' and teachers' narratives, each weaving together three elements: a personal account based on one or more memorable or critical incidents that occurred in the course of learning or using a second or foreign language; an interpretation of the incidents highlighting their impact in terms of culture, identity, and language; the connections between the experiences and observations of the author and existing literature on language, culture, and identity." |
