Portraits of Second Language Learners - An L2 Learner Agency Perspective (Paperback)
Series: Second Language Acquisition

Using second language (L2) socialization theory as a theoretical
framework, this book investigates the ways in which four advanced
learners of Japanese on an immersion program in the USA exercise
their agency to pursue their language learning goals. The work
presents their learner portraits and documents the different ways
in which the four learners negotiate the meaning of their
participations in the new community of practice, navigate and shape
the trajectories of their learning and eventually achieve their
goals of learning from their emic perspectives. The book
re-examines Norton's (2000) constructs of investment, investigates
its applicability and argues that L2 learners' desires and drives
for learning an L2 are more diverse, unique and contextually
situated than Norton's notion of investment alone can explain. The
research will be of interest to researchers and students in the
fields of applied linguistics, second language acquisition, foreign
language education and language and literacy education.
