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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Multilingual Matters Limited","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47596432556183,"sku":"9781847699985","price":3238.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781847699985.webp?v=1774993749","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/self-and-identity-in-adolescent-foreign-language-learning-9781847699985","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
