Within foreign language education contexts across the globe,
inadequate attention has been paid to documenting the dynamics of
identity development, negotiation and management. This book looks
at these dynamics in specific relation to otherness, in addition to
attitudinal and behavioural overtones created through use of the
term 'foreign' (despite its position as an integral marker in
language acquisition discourse). This book argues that individual
identities are multidimensional constructs that gravitate around a
hub of intricate social networks of multimodal intergroup
interaction. The chapters pursue a collective desire to move the
notion of identity away from theoretical abstraction and toward the
lived experiences of foreign language teachers and students. While
the identities entangled with these interactions owe a significant
measure of their existence to the immediate social context, they
can also be actively developed by their holders. The collection of
chapters within this book demonstrate how foreign language
education environments (traditional and non-traditional) are ideal
locations for the development of a sophisticated repertoire of
discursive strategies used in the formulation, navigation,
expression and management of social identities and multiple selves.
